Here's Daphne at about 5 weeks. She is strikingly different than she was just a couple of weeks ago. Holding her head up, making cooing noises, sleeping through the night (almost) and straightening her limbs out are all significant. But the thing that gets your attention is the way she, well, pays attention to things.
It is both charming and unnerving when she stares at you unblinkingly while you feed her. She is either bonding like mad, or plotting our destruction (cue theme music from Children of the Damned).
Really, though, we're very excited to see her tracking objects and even turning her head 180 degrees to follow you as you walk by. Now if only we could figure out what she finds so fascinating about the ceiling...
She likes to fly around Superman-style.
A Hat Story, Part IWhen it started she was laying quietly beside her reference bunny, looking cute and feeling fine.
A Hat Story, Part IISuddenly she was lifted aloft. "Well, what's up? Besides me I mean, ha ha."
A Hat Story, Part III"I sense that something has changed. Has a cloud passed before the sun? Have the birds begun their morning song? Have I simply filled my pants again?"
A Hat Story, Part IV"Oh no. They haven't. They've put me in a hat. They know how I feel about hats. I am not going to take this lying down! Not even if they lay me down!
A Hat Story, Part V"Oh, that is just IT! This CANNOT BE BORNE! It's a HAT OF MASS DESTRUCTION! RETALIATION IS IMMINENT! REVENGE is at HAND! Soon you will feel my tiny wrath! When I figure out how to get this thing off, I'm gonna..."
A Hat Story, Part VI"...ahh, that's better. Now I'll go back to being a darling little angel.""(But someday... someday you will be the ones wearing diapers! And when that day arrives... I will dress you in hats!!!!)"
We though that this would be a good time to get a picture of her in nice natural light. She didn't think it was a good time for us to stop holding her. Chalk it up to artistic differences.
