I ve been going to Yoga on Tuesday nights while Daddy entertains Dante, and on sunny days I ve been driving around buying toys, books and clothing at garage sales. Dante loves garage sales; he flirts with all the ladies and charms them into giving him toys for free! <P> Grandma and Grandpa Hays made sure Dante s very own Easter Bunny came for a visit and we went down to visit them for Grandma Sandy s birthday a couple weeks later. <P> At his 4 month appointment, Dante weighed 16 lbs and was 25.5 inches long! The doctor announced that Dante seems to think he should be 6 months old, not 4. We officially moved on to Size 3 diapers this weekend! We discovered breastfeeding DURING shots works wonders and almost completely eliminates screaming. <P> A few days before his 4 month Birthday, Dante began saying  Mamamamamamama . Chris seems to think there is some association between the word and its meaning as Dante does not say it very often when I am not around. <P> Anyhow, enjoy the photographs, and to all the Mothers out there& Happy Mother s Day! <P> - Aurika (A Very Happy Mother) <BR> <TABLE WIDTH=100%><TR> <TD ALIGN=LEFT><A HREF="Journal4.html"><IMG border=0 SRC=bakarrow.gif OnMouseOver="this.border=1" OnMouseOut="this.border=0"></A></TD> <TD ALIGN=RIGHT><A HREF="Journal6.html"><IMG border=0 SRC=fwdarrow.gif OnMouseOver="this.border=1" OnMouseOut="this.border=0"></A></TD> </TR></TABLE> <!-- Start of StatCounter Code --> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> var sc_project=888237; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=7; var sc_security="b67b0e7d"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/frames.js"></script> <noscript><a href="http://www.statcounter.com/" target="_blank"> <img src="http://c8.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=888237&amp;java=0&amp;security=b67b0e7d&amp;invisible=1" alt="free web tracker" border="0"></a></noscript> <!-- End of StatCounter Code --> </FONT> </BODY> </HTML>
