Art and I went to a class called 'Yoga Bonding' for baby with a parent. There was actually one dad there and seven other moms. I didn't get to do much yoga cause Art was fussy, but so were other babies. it was really fun. every once in a while a mom would drop out and start nursing her baby or grab a pacifier or, in my case, change a diaper, and then jump back into class. But Art did like some of the things we did, and at the end he conked out into a deep sleep.

Yesterday was my first day teaching since before Thanksgiving. I had a great time, by the way. Art stayed at home with his Aunti Em . Except for some harrowing changing table experiences they had a pleasant afternoon reading stories and listening to water sounds. When Ben and I got home there was a happy, clean baby in a great new outfit (due to the harrowing changing table experience) being held by his Aunt. >>>>Here he is cozy with Em before I left to teach. He took a nap not too long after this picture.

The other day I had Art on the floor shaking rattles and showing him stuffed animals and we had to leave the room for the phone or something. Later I came back in the room and almost tripped on the toys. The first of many times we will almost trip on Art's toys!

Apparently breastmilk is so perfectly designed for human digestion that a breastfed baby can go several days without making a big stinky ("Garvin" for bowel movement). We have recently witnessed this phenomenon. Art made a big stinky today, Tuesday, and his last big stinky was last Thursday! By the way, have you noticed how big his thighs are getting?

Here's a link to where you can watch a little video we took this morning of Arthur smiling while I sing Itsy Bitsy Spider. Look at that beautiful baby interacting! (It will take a little while to load, but it's worth it.) http://www.bengarvin.com/itsybitsy.WMV
