A wiggle of babies

That's the collective noun for a group of babies, or so we decided today at the monthly baby brunch.

Earlier today, Freya and I reconnected with the group of parents that Steve and I met at a pre-birth class at OHSU last year, and were tickled to discover a group of happy babies and like-minded parents. The babies obliged by lining up, albeit briefly, for a group shot. I was grateful to get some pediatrician referrals, and to discover that there is a functioning babysitting circle already in operation. Who would have guessed that our random group of parents would continue a lasting bond -- at the time, all we shared was the anticipation and trepidation of labor and one harried lunch hour trying to find a place to eat at the not yet fully open South Waterfront zone.
