The Visitors

As we approach Halloween, I'm keeping with the spooky theme... but that's not the only reason for the title of today's post. It's also because it's time to do a little catch-up with all of the people who have been visiting Veronica!



That's V with her friend Erin... look how comfy her little nakey body is! Veronica's, not Erin's. Ahem.



Here she is with Carlos, all chill and sleeping and whatevs. She feels safe wherever, can you imagine that feeling??



Margarette is rightly holding V up to these gorgeous flowers because they are so lovely (like V) and smell pretty (like V... sometimes).



I love when the demeanor of the holder inspires a similar facial reaction in Veronica - look how much energy Erica brings with her! They are both transfixed with each other, so cool.



This picture with Gene is rad because he looks both super comfy and protective and then also strangely worried like he thinks he might drop her. Come on, man! You have the world's mightiest forearms, she's never been safer!



You'll note a recurring theme to these pics which is Veronica Loves to Sleep. On People. (Well, she loves to sleep and people can't resist holding her, so it works out nicely!) That one is her and her friend Monica.



Of course, she has her moments of Squirm and Drain* (anyone?)... anyway, although she's typically the World's Most Perfect Baby, she is growing and expressing and right now that often takes the form of some frustrating (for her) talky-cries. As a girl who loves her verbiage, I truly feel her pain.... long story short, don't hold Peyton responsible for the face Veronica is pulling above!



You can tell here, in her picture with Susan, that our weather is fluctuating a bit - however, it's been crazy warm lately, which is probably better for the baby than cold. Or maybe that's just my (Minnesota-born-and-raised) bias... I hate the cold!



This is Shantalle, Amanda's doula, and her little boy Sage with Veronica - so many fun future boyfriend options!

* Squirm and Drain = dorky pun for Sturm und Drang (the conventional translation is "Storm and Stress"), the name of a movement in German literature taking place in the late 1760s, in which extremes of emotion were given free expression in response to the confines of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements.

Bringing the nerd since 1976!
