Linus has been particularly charming this week: smiling, chuckling, curious, enthusiastic. I've had a lot of fun with him. The only real challenge this week has been that he has only taken half hour naps, which leaves me very little time to accomplish anything. I've been putting my well developed organizational skills to work and use to-do lists and multi-tasking to get some things done during my small windows of opportunity.
On Monday, Linus was on the sun porch while I made a Thai cucumber sesame salad. I peeked around the door frame to check on him and saw a mouse run by. I ran out to see it and boy was it cute. After photographing it, I opened up the door to the outside and got the broom to help encourage it to head in that direction. Then it occurred to me to put Linus in the play pen so that the mouse wouldn't run onto Linus' blanket. Linus might think it was a relative of his stuffed Mickey Mouse and try to chomp on its nose! From the play pen, Linus was amused by my following the mouse around. In the end, the mouse perched on the door jam, looked down for a second, then jumped down and ran across the deck really fast. It sure was cute.
Here are photos of the mouse and of Linus on his way to the Farmers' Market Wednesday evening. Who is cuter? (Pardon the dust bunny attached to the mouse's foot.)
What should be Linus' second food? I vote for banana and Matthew votes for sweet potatoes.

What a cute mouse!!! He's awesome. Brandon's first "real" food (non-cereal) was green beans so I vote for green beans.
Pickles. Just kidding...although I'm sure Linus would make a very cute face!! John says cheese, because that's just about his favorite thing to eat. Ha. Bananas look kind of scary mashed up, whereas sweet potatoes look colorful...I'd have to side with Matthew on this one.
Until the mouse can show me he's had his shots, I refuse to entertain the idea of him being in the same league of cuteness, even if he deliberately dusts under the chest each week.

I actually say eggplant because that's never expected, but just wasn't one of the choices Stacey gave me. We are coming to believe that LInus' first food will be determined primarily by whats available...
I vote for green beans as well. Since they are green!
Seth & I agree that Linus is cuter than the mouse (though its a close second).
He is such a cute little baby. And that's pretty much the comment I want to leave every time I visit the blog.
