2.5 months down the parenthood road...

Well...Ale's 2.5 months now and she's chugging along, growing blissfully, tanking up on Jeanette's house-special premium grade milkaccinos. We're holding out another month before starting part-time daycare, so it's schedule juggling for us. I go into lab ~6:30 in the morning and come home between noon and 1pm for the hand-off. I naively thought I would get work done in the afternoons on my laptop, but Ale quickly informed me she was no longer a newborn and did not sleep all the time. So....we play on the "stimulation rug", dance to Philadelphia Chickens, and go for walks outside in the courtyard. Today we took a jaunt to REI, so she could get her big daddy some sunglasses. She likes the Baby Bjorn- facing out- absorbing her environment, eyes widely and intently examining her brave new world...
