The weekend that was

Of course, the NCAA tournament takes precedent for everybody:

Mia has U. Conn going all the way, and depending on the total points of the championship game, may get that pony after all. She's conflicted about Duke, but there's time to work on that.

She however, knowing her audience opened up the pipes for him on occasion. As any good guest would, he lied about sleeping through her wails at 10:45, 1:30, and 3:00 last night.

Walter and Mia spent time bonding


After which he burrows in a cave of his own making


She takes a bottle for the first time


And likes it perhaps a bit too much.


All this on what was the last day of the first month of her life. Much more to come.

Edited to add: We had other visitors too. But we don't have their permission to post photos. So S and J, didn't want you to think your visit (and your burritos) didn't matter!
