Daphne's Page

Daphne continues to put on weight nicely. She's sleeping through the night, as she has for the last few weeks. She rarely cries. She's cute and undemanding, so everybody likes her. In short, we couldn't ask for a more wonderful baby.

So why are Holly and I so tired all the time?

Anyway, the big news is that we'll be flying out to Utah in July. There are lots of people for Daphne to meet: aunts and uncles, great-grandparents, etc. We're flying, since a 2 day drive with an infant sounded suicidal to us. My coworker Danny recently flew with his 3-month-old, and had a pretty good experience, so we're trying to keep our anxiety in check.

She grins and giggles much more often now. Of course, she saves her biggest luvs for the plush stars on her mobile, which she seems to find very entertaining. She talks to them, too.

She is getting much better at holding her head steady.

Holding her body up is a much different story, of course.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Such joy! Now if only that smile was meant for me, instead of those $%*#! plush stars.

I don't know why it's calming to have your rear end shaken up and down thousands of times per minute, but this picture is testament to the chair.

All dressed up and nowhere to go! She puked right after this picture, of course.

"Frankly, I've become concerned with the management of this place."

"Do you have any idea how tiring it is to run a household with two full-sized adults??"

"I'm constantly giving them detailed directions about everything from when to change my diaper to when to give me food, yet they act as if they don't understand a word I say!"

"It's just so frustrating!!"
