Damien Gets a Special Visit From Aunt Candy

Damien's aunt Candace is madly in love with him and despite her previous distaste for the bay area, she was dying to come and visit her boo boo. So, for her spring break, instead of partying on a road trip with friends, aunt Candace came to visit D and got to wake up at the crack of dawn and change poopy diapers instead. If you know Candace, that means Love with a capital L. Damien was thrilled to have Candace, as was Mom and Dad who loved having the extra loving hands. Candy accompanied Damien to his first professional photo shoot. Unfortunately, Damien was going through a little rough patch - we now think it was related to teething or a digestion issue with soy - and so our usual happy smiley baby was a train wreck at the photo shoot. We managed to get a few decent shots, thanks in large part to Candy's sweet attempts to console little D. All the Craigs can't wait for a repeat visit.

Damien Jets to Los Angeles

As soon as they left after visiting Damien over President's Day weekend, the Kleins missed him like crazy and were pleading for more Damien time. So, on a whim, Momma bought a last minute ticket and decided to take Damien to see his fan club on a solo sans papa mission. Damien was once again a great traveller, smiling at everyone and just being in a good mood.

Shortly after arriving, Grandma Linda busted out the latest Damien grab bag she had compiled in the last few weeks, filled with lots of toys and clothes. Damien happily, OK more like reluctantly, indulged us with a fashion show. Grandma Linda was worried that Damien would be cold in Chicago, so she picked up some cold weather essentials like a ridiculously cute chicken hat and some suede gloves. Too cute. The weekend was mostly spent at the Klein's beautiful home and enjoying the great weather outside. With 5 Klein women, Damien had plenty of action to watch! Damien sure likes how spoiled he is with all the Klein's at his beck and call and looks forward to returning soon. Thanks Klein's - especially Grandma Linda for all the loot!

Damien loves the suede gloves, what a great chew toy, I can't drop them.

Modeling an adorable new shirt. Mommy LOVED Kermit when she was a kid, Damien looks like he does too.

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders ... Check out my Cal colored socks.
