8 months

We have a lot of changes on the horizon: moving to a house up the Hudson next month, and then traveling to Europe just after moving in. I’m rewriting a conference paper, beginning to pack/organize, and getting our now 8-month-old into daycare. So I’ll keep it short and stick to the photos!
Highlights from this 8th month:

Last day with babysitter Amber. We loved our babysitters this semester and appreciate how wonderful they were with Jax.

Trying on his Portuguese hat, May 6 (can you tell it’s still too big?).
