Pajamarama

He was a little chilly after his bath, so he got to wear these pajamas for the first time. They are 6-month pjs, and they are almost too small! (His cloth diapers make us have to size up most things.) He was fussing when I handed him to Matt, but he smiled as soon as he saw that I was taking his picture.

Waking Sleepyhead

We dislike taking him away from his nap, but we have to get him out sometime!

Best Buds

Here is the zoomed-out version. They really love each other.

Brotherly Love

This is how Ollie reacts to his big bro. Also, today is the first day he is sitting up on his own!

Focaccia

I tried to make focaccia today for the first time, and it was not a success. It is one of the simplest breads to make, but as I discovered today, it is one of the most persnickety. It fell before it finished rising and didn't rise on the bench. It came out a little undercooked but burnt at the edges. It is almost saved by the olive oil and the rosemary from our garden. I cut it up, and I may use it for a snack or a sandwich tomorrow.

The author of The Bread Bible, Rose Levy Berenbaum, says that it is the recipe about which she has been written most. She calls it "that notorious rosemary focaccia," and now I can see why.
