missoula's red tent extended



we had our first new mama's lunch the other day. at first i was a bit overwhelmed. there were lots of babies and all their special little noises (from pigeon, to dolphin to elsinore and beyond!) and all these fun mamas ready to chat like mad about everything from wine intake and breastfeeding to checking to see if they're breathing in the night to baby acne and pediatricians. once i found my spot on the chair and busted out the boob like the rest of them, we settled into the groove. what a new social world this is! similarly, last night our little friend eliza had her first bday party. immediately upon arrival elie wanted to eat. luckily for me, there were already a handfull of breastfeeding mamas for me to sit with. very surreal, yet very fabulous.

in this shot we lined the babies up from biggest to smallest. guess what little grunter is on the end?? she is still such a peanut! i have to say, though, she is eating more and more every day. i'm pretty sure we could just sit and breastfeed all day long and elie would be thrilled. i'm resting her on my lap while i type and i can tell she hates it, so i have to continue later.

the other pic is of grandma roseann holding eliana by the creek the other day.
