rice cereal

Emily and I listened, sang and danced to the entire FLOOD album by They Might Be Giants.

She giggled at me. She giggled at her dad this morning. She's got a smile that will cause you to do her bidding immediately and a laugh...oh a laugh that makes you wiggle your toes and dance like a monkey.

She spent most of the day smiling. And the last two nights she's fallen asleep on my chest like she did when we first brought her home.

She's eating rice cereal like there is no tomorrow. She's wearing it and rubbing it in her ears and on her feet and sneezing it on me. I laugh throughout dinnertime. She grabs the spoon out of my hand and puts it in her mouth. She looks triumphant.

I can feel this happiness.

Hurray for Emily!! I've been waiting for that word from you: "happiness". My dear, you've all had a tough road these past few months, you deserve every moment of joy that comes your way. *smooches all around*

Thanks sweetie, I'm hoping there is more like this to come.

we haven't had the chance to install the firewire card yet, but soon--we have great shots of her first cereal, it was so hilarious.

Good idea, I think we'll be filming the TMBG dancing today.

Oh happy day!

Sounds like happy times are here! So good to hear it--you've been through a lot and deserve it all. Em sounds like she's growing in leaps and bounds.

Heh, the way you talk about it almost makes me want to have a baby! Almost. ;-)
