I promise to write soon about our trip to Ethiopia and being home with Dag. Right now, I’m still recovering from a head cold (caught somehow in Addis) and adjusting to sleep-less nights. In the spirit of some healthy competition, I keep telling Dag that Abe Rooney sleeps until 10am but he doesn’t seem to care.
In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend. My sweet boy was skeptical of grass at first and didn’t want his feet touching it but he warmed up to it.
I’m still soaking up the sheer joy and love of being this boy’s mother.

Loving these pictures of your sweet baby boy! He is just so precious-I can’t seem to get enough of him. I can’t wait to talk to you on the phone, but I know how busy you are so I’m holding off. I’m not sure how much longer it will last.

I love those little toes! Get well soon…I also had a horrible head cold when we came back too so I know how you are feeling. I’m sure recovery is slowed down because all of the lack of sleep!

Ditto! I love the new blog banner with Dag. I love checking your blog and seeing new pictures of Dag–he is the cutest little boy on the block! Speaking of which, I almost did a drive by today. I swear, I will call the next time I’m in the neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet him!

I can’t believe how much hair it looks like he has. I swear he didn’t have that much in Africa. He is such a doll!!
