They don't have nicknames, but ...

... Jasper was super excited to meet his great aunt and great uncle on Sunday!

Ruth and Steve Dawson, Momo's sister and brother-in-law, were in town to visit their daughter Robin on their way back to Hawaii from London. We had a nice brunch -- nice because of the company, not so much because of the service!

Not the response I was trying to elicit

It's cold here!

We're having a bit of a cold spell, so Jasper needs to bundle up nice and good when he goes out. Thanks to Didi, he's got a matching hat and blanket to go out in!

Jasper's (parents') new toy

A need has arisen to keep Jasper occupied in an upright position, so here's his newest apparatus, which he's almost big enough to truly master. A preview of hands-on interactions to come!

Being a baby is exhausting

New year squeals and laughs

This one just speaks for itself ... one of our best Jasper videos ever!

Happy 2011!

Jasper's second calendar year began ... well, began with him blissfully asleep in his basinet.

But before that, he went out with his Mummy and Daddy for a quick bite to eat at a local restaurant, where he wore his finest duds -- or at least the thing that Daddy thought looked sort of thematically appropriate for New Year's Eve, a black onesie with a lightning bolt. (Which I believe is courtesy of his Uncle Alan and Aunt Jill.)

Happy New Year everyone!
