I just spent almost a week in Vermont, hanging out with my delightful niece Catherine (and her mom & dad). At almost 5 months, she is fascinated with faces and mimics everything I do. She can roll from her back to front, but not the other way around. She cries when she wants you to read her a book.
I love this kid.
Vermont was beautiful, with crimson and gold leaves sprinkled through the green. Each morning I looked out my bedroom window at the distant mountains, wishing I could see them from my room at home. It was so quiet and so beautiful - just such a different life than I lead here. I have adopted a bit of their early-to-bed, early-to-rise lifestyle, going to bed early every night this week and waking by 6 or 6:30. Yesterday I was in the office at 7:20! Who knows how long this will last, though. Perhaps I'm just worn out from travelling and fighting off either a cold or allergies.
