Cuter Overload!

Cristen and I once thought of a great new website, cuteRoverload, as a play on one of our faves, Cute Overload!, but we never knew just what would be cuter. After spending the weekend in North Carolina with my wee little nephew, Peter, I now can say what is cuter. He is!

Peter never quite got used to me. He prefers his mom and dad, but I didn't take it personally. At Christmas, I will emerge as his aunt. Right now, Peter likes to sleep and eat a lot. But he also really likes his mobile.

We went on a couple of outings, like to the mall and to my favorite NC store A Southern Season. He looks so cute in his little carseat.

But mostly he slept and ate.

That's why I had to snap lots of pictures while he was awake. Peter's very alert. He loves to look out of the window and stare up at the ceiling fan.

Peter makes such cute little cooing noises. He also gets the hiccups a lot. Here's a little movie that shows him doing both.

But the weekend wasn't all about Peter. We also made strawberry jam, and Mike taught me how to make my favorite, a delicious strawberry rhubarb pie.

Amanda also introduced me to Boba (or Bubble) tea. It was really pretty.

The weekend went by much too quickly.
