For the love of donuts

We are lucky enough to have a very a good bakery four houses down from us. One of their specialties is donuts. They are dipped in cinnamon sugar so they aren't too sweet and they taste wonderful with a cup of coffee in the morning. They are the next best thing to my mother's homemade donuts and can't even beat a Krispe Kreme hot donut (although those are good as sometimes).

We've had several snow storms this year and last week was one of them, but that didn't stop Sarah and Greg from going to get some fresh donuts to make us happy. I know up north, this would be a normal adventure, but for us southerners, it is very different for us. Hard to believe we could have even more snow next week!

David continues to grow and is two months now! When he was born he had skinny little legs (a Brown family characteristic) and now they are turning into nice chubby baby legs. He is already wearing 3-6 month clothes and is almost 14 pounds.

He has some trouble with acid reflux (at least we think) and he started some prescription medicine last week. We saw a noticeable difference in him and he actually has some calm moments now. We are happy that he is more comfortable. His next big adventure is starting daycare next week. I spoke with the caregiver there and she is very excited to have him. She also took care of Sarah for part of the time and Sarah loved her. It is nice to know that he'll be in loving hands when we aren't there to take care of him. Unfortunately, David still is not a fan of bottles and loves to sleep on his stomach (which is not allowed a daycare), so I think the first week will be tough for him. I am planning on doing shorter days so he doesn't come home completely exhausted and hungry. Hopefully he'll adjust quickly and enjoy his time there like Sarah.

Our evening routine is starting to go a little smoother as David gets older. Bathtime is one of our calmer moments since both Sarah and David enjoy it. Sarah likes to help bathe David and David just likes to sit in the warm water. It's a nice time that we get to enjoy as a family. Even Brody will join us in the bathroom. We are so happy that we renovated the bathroom over the summer. Now we can all fit comfortably in the bathroom and the heated floor continues to be a treat with the cold winter nights!
