Update from the road
No time to upload photos, but wanted to let blog-watchers know that all is well. We had fun exploring Washington DC, and then more fun at Jess' ten year college reunion (at Smith) last weekend. Now we're in Connecticut visiting her family.
Garin is enjoying himself, except for some stress brought on by teeth 5 and 6 which are making their way into his mouth (making 4 upper and 2 lower teeth now). They're a bit (no pun intended) ahead of schedule; his motto is "all the better to eat everything I can get my hands on". Except wheat - we gave him a piece of bread and he erupted in little red spots. No more wheat for now, we'll give it a try again in a few months.
We leave here on Friday to go up to Providence for the Brown reunion (not officially ten years for Mel, but close enough). From there we're not sure exactly what we'll be doing, but we have to be back at Smith on May 31 to move in and so that Mel can start orientation.
Photos of the travels soon, when we have a little more time . . .

Camping Weekend
We went camping with a bunch of friends for the first time last weekend at Hunting Island, about two hours south of Charleston. It was Garin's first camping trip and his first time in the ocean, both things he seemed to really enjoy.
Here he is waking up in the tent. A bit confused, but very excited. (The first photo was taken through the mesh "window" on the tent, it looks so cool we had to post it.)
He got some beach time and discovered that he likes to eat sand and chew on shells. We tried to discourage both of those behaviors.
This will probably be the last post for awhile - next week we leave for Massachusetts/Connecticut/Rhode Island for the summer. We'll post from there, but who knows how frequently.

yum, Yum, YUM!
Garin is starting to eat real food. And he LOVES it.
Here he is today with some sweet potatoes:
And zucchini . . .
(click on the photo in the middle to see flecks of zucchini all over his face)
And licking the bowl clean . . .
(in the middle photo here it looks like he's worried that we might take the empty bowl away!)

A tiny, tiny curling iron
No, we don't have one. But somehow this is what happened to the boy's hair in the bath today. (and check out those teeth!)
