Preview with Special Guest: BIBI BROWN

Hi! Here we are with a little baby to give you all a taste of what it will be like to visit us in about 6 months. Our model today is Bibi Appaline Brown, Tatum's super adorable baby. This photo was from back in January (look closely -- you can see snow outside) when Bibi was about 4 months old. I just visited Bibi yesterday, and she's even more wonderful now. She sits up by herself and grabs stuff and eats oatmeal and giggles and loves her Aunt Jenn.

32 weeks & springtime in seattle

Hello! Today was a sunny, 70 degree day in Seattle. We celebrated with cold drinks on our lovely back deck and a swing in the hammock. As you can see, I'm enormous. And my belly button is out. Strangers can't take their eyes off the bump (seriously, it's crazy). But I'm getting seats on crowded buses and folks keep offering to carry things for me, so being a spectacle has its perks.

In other news, the Washington State Legislature passed the nation's first limited ban on the use of toxic flame retardants, thanks no doubt to our little guy's persuasive comments (see two posts down). Hooray!
