Checkpoint Gus

Dear Laney,

You hung out with me in the yard today while I planted the last of the tomatoes in the greenhouse. You also tried a strawberry today for the first time, and liked it so much that you savored it for about 20 minutes. I swear that strawberry was the hardest-working berry in fruit business.

Also, you and Gus spent a lot of time staring longingly at each other from opposite sides of the new fence. It was like the morning the Germans woke up to discover there was a border dividing East and West. Or maybe that's too heavy a comparison for a baby blog.

Your bottom tooth is going to make an appearance any day. Times they are a-testy.

Love,

Mom
