Papa and Anya

Happy Holidays





Thanks for the gifts everyone! (Cool new pouch from Auntie Meribeth [who also knitted the pants as a birthday gift for Anya last month]). We actually do intend to send out thank you cards this year...much appreciation for all the stuff for our little one!

In the first picture, Zadek came by in what he called his bat mask.

This video is oriented wrong but it cracks me up. We were both very tired last night but Anya wasn't. At one point Purl looked at his watch and said in Anya's direction, "it's late." I started laughing as he had seemed to be implying that it was time to "put her to bed."

first patty cake


Papa bonding and playing in angelic light.

I can feel the baby kicking!


We saw this joke in a cartoon in the New Yorker when I was still pregnant a few months ago and still find it hilarious.

Motherly pose


Schmutz in baby's eye...the most motherly I've looked in my opinion.

Friends





Thomas, Debbie, Sonia, Valerie

Papa dancing

Cute because he didn't know I was filming. Sorry if it takes forever to load...this is an experiment in putting video on the blog.

Clothes!


We continue occasionally to dress our child. Pictured here: a custom-made onesie from our friend Beth (thanks, Beth!).

Artsy photos




Papa's latest in Baby Art. The new mobile, featuring clouds and chickens and a duck, appears to fascinate her.

Parents sleeping






We could do a whole series of these.

Week 2



The last one is how she looks at us about 80% of her waking hours.

Today Anya is 11 days old and seems to be sleeping/waking more erratically rather than more regularly. Her sounds keep getting more entertaining, though; we often refer to her as "our little squeak toy" or "the little ewok." She's getting noticeably fatter and pretty soon I'll weigh her on the postal scale to see how many ounces she's gained. From looks alone it seems she must be at least back to her birth weight. Not much else to report developmentally.

Bathtime!





Anya's first and second baths. Note that she appears to be singing James Brown in her bathrobe.
