Our Very Own Garden Gnome

As Dave and I celebrated Winston's first month of life this weekend, we were reviewing all the photos we've taken over the past month. Dave, ever the witty observer, said, "It is like we have our own living Garden Gnome...we now have pictures of Winston from all over Miami. Here he is - at the beach! Here he is - at the restaurant!"

Indeed, Winston definitely dominates all our photos these days, which is a relief - it used to be that we almost exclusively took pictures of kayaking landscapes and tropical fish. I would say Winston adds a human quality that is most welcome.

Winston is starting to outgrow some of the "premie" outfits the Grandmothers bought for him when we realized he was swimming in the 0-3 month sizes. While it is hard for us to track his growth on a day to day basis, outgrowing his clothes is an indication we are doing something right. We'll get official word on his progress at our next doctor's appointment on August 3rd.

Dave, Tom, Winston and I visited the Biltmore on Friday night for cocktail hour. Never one to pass up a deal, I insisted that we share the 1/2 price 64 oz pitcher of Mojitos. I learned quickly that limited sleep and 3 cocktails are a deadly combination. Dave thought it was hilarious and took this picture of Win and I sleeping it off late on Saturday morning.We also joined Cecilia and Mo for breakfast on Sunday at Le Bouchon Du Grove - adorable pictures of the garden gnome with the two of them. Winston's outfit was very appropriate for this French restaurant, although we decided he must wear a beret next time to totally fit in.Finally, here are pictures that best characterize "What we did this weekend" - we spent time sitting on the couch, holding, feeding, burping, cooing and adoring the little guy. We also watched a few movies, caught up on the first season of the West Wing, and that is about it.For the record...Daddy made the decision to dress Winston in his monkey pants only.
