Snow

Liv's first trip to the snow Jan 26-28th.

Sleep

Wow. A couple nights in a row. Not sure what's better. Sleep for baby. Or sleep for us. We'll take both. Almost 8 weeks old. Sleeping 5-6 hours straight. Up for a half and hour. Then back to bed for 2-3 more hours. Not too bad. Routine? Could be. Schedule? For sure. We're shooting for 8:00 pm bedtime. Could get earlier as she gets older. Thanks Liv. Mommy and Daddy appreciate it!

Joy

joy n. The emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation.

Arriving home I was greeted by a smile from Liv and an audible response that in the context, could easily be translated to be 'Hi Dad'. Very exciting and very cool!

A typical there's Daddy. Her seeing me. Me saying hello. Her smiling back at me. Followed by her making a hello noise back to me. Pure joy. Can't wait for the words to come pouring out. Every day is new. Goes without saying. We're enjoying every day of it.

Wonderment

wonderment n. Astonishment, awe, or surprise. Something that produces wonder; a marvel. Puzzlement or curiosity.

Six and a half weeks have gone by and life is great. Some quick points of interest in the life and times of Liv.
Doc visit went great today (1/15/07). She's gained 11 oz in 10 days. "That's amazing. I can't believe how she can hold her head up so well at this age." - Dr. Joyce Wu. She's up to 8 lbs 8 ozs.
Sunday, she hung out with her friends during the Seahawks game. Vance (6 months) and Cash (3 months).
Last week she was visited by Aunt Melissa, Grandma Mary Kay, Grandma Sheila, and Grandpa Jim.
When asked to comment on her plans today, she had this to say "urrggh". Good times.
