Last weekend we visited Stonewall Farm in Keene to see the “Dancing of the Ladies” — the moment that the cows are let out for the first time in the Spring. I heard that the cows frolicked, but I had not idea that they actually leaped about. It was something else.
He looks very genteel in the last photo. It makes me giggle. Also, he really needs a haircut!
I’ve had some photos hanging out on my camera for awhile, and I thought I’d just pop them into a post for those of you who have a soft spot for cute, round, cuddly things 🙂
Yesterday Zane had his 18 month check-up. It’s hard to believe he’s already a year and a half old. He’s recently had a language explosion, with new words popping up everyday. While I love to check off those milestones, it also makes me sad because there’s no turning back. I can’t ever hold a brand-new baby Zane again.
Nevertheless, Zane is a healthy, happy little guy. He weighs 25.5 lbs and he’s 33.5 inches tall (66th and 80th percentile, respecitively). During this appointment I was asked to fill out a survey regarding his development. Thankfully, Zane is developing typically.
Lillia came along and was, for the most part, quite helpful (though, as you can see in this photo, she wasn’t pleased about having to wait for the doctor to arrive). When it was time for Zane to have his vaccinations, she asked to leave the room. She is a sensitive soul.
From “Woman at the Window,” by Theodore Deppe:
As in a waking dream, the iron glides down a sleeve
and there’s no tornado, only warnings and warm sun
on a young woman’s cheek and shoulder,
only the way the ordinary light of morning
ravishes her as she stares off
at something beyond the frame.
