Paela recites one of her favorite books. She used to do this all the time back in June, but we never were able to get it on video. This is also a 'quieter' reading.
Baby
2nd baby
I'm sure no one really expects to hear much from this week.
We prepared our home for the newcomer. Rebecca and I went in for the operation Wednesday morning and Aderyn was born at 9 AM. She screams like a banshee and her sensitive skin makes her look like a lobster -- at least most of the time. Like babies do, she sleeps and eats and cries. Healthy little baby.
Paela enjoys having the baby sister around. She loves to hold her and give her a pacifier and lavish kisses on her little sister. Rebecca came home from the hospital a little early when we snuck her out on Saturday. And she was very grateful to be home: Thanksgiving dinner in the hospital was the least of the things bothering her.
So, here's to lost nights' sleep and the adventures of a big and loud healthy child!

another girl?
Just thought we'd fill you all in (finally) that we're expecting kid #2 this November. They've given me a due date of November 24, and they think (95% sure...) that it looks like a girl. The most unsure 95% I've ever heard, but we'll just translate that to mean that we will spend 95% of our time thinking of girl names and 5% of our time thinking of boy names!

Entourage
Toddlers often have security objects, be they blankets, stuffed animals or pacifiers. Paela has an entourage. When she wakes in the morning and is lifted out of the crib she makes the role call: "Dolly, too?" "Kitty, too?" "George, too?" (and often) "Blankie, too?" With her full entourage stuffed into her tiny arms she is ready to start the day, taking at least one of them -- usually more -- everywhere she goes.Submitted by wayne on Fri, 07/03/2009 - 05:29.
