Photo dump for April 10

I'm working on keeping photos coming in these first few days especially, because she's changing so much. But I guess, when I think about it, she's going to be changing fast for the next 20 years or so.

Oh well, I'm still working on getting lots of pictures out as I can.

There's one down there with me and the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier on cry duty.

She's been going on some crying jags, to which I respond with donning the sling and bouncing and "shush-ing" her around the house so Katye can sleep. I've found that if I'm in the canning pantry, no one else in the house can hear her crying -- even Katye in the guest room downstairs. There's an image for ya -- me bouncing around all night in the canning pantry with a crying kiddo.

She only cries for at most 45 minutes or so before she falls asleep, but it did happen 3 (more?) times yesterday. It was a new thing, and from what we've read and heard, there is just some crying that needs to happen for a plethora of reasons. I don't get too worked up about it, but it hits the Mama alarms pretty hard, making sleep difficult if I'm within hearing range of Katye. Thus, pantry duty.

We had a visitor today, The Luddite came calling this morning and got to meet Ms. Vivian.

The other photos are of crashed-out parents with the kiddo. If only we looked as good as she does.

She's been opening her eyes and looking around a bit. When I get a good photo of that I'll post it too.






Enjoy keeping up with Ms. Vivian,

Bp
