new pictures!
Saturday, July 29th, 2006

I updated a diaper-load of new pictures. I created or updated three galleries:

the new bathtime gallery, which contains some of the cutest pictures yet taken (of course this means my daughter is less than 2 months old and already has naked pictures of herself on the internet)
the new week 4-6 gallery, which has lots of […]

the latest changes
Friday, July 28th, 2006

So Livia continues to develop and grow. The most noticable thing is that she now holds her head up decently well, although you get some definite shakiness when she’s upright as she overcorrects. When she’s on her tummy she really holds her head up high, and she seems to love it. For a few […]

building blocks

You know what’s amazing about trees? They’re literally made out of thin air. The basic formula for trees is air + water + sunshine = tree. Actually this goes for all plants. A large tree weighs many tons, and does it get its bulk from the soil? Nope, all that wood was […]

good morning!
Thursday, July 20th, 2006

I love what I do. Right now, I’m out in my backyard using my new laptop, and it’s a beautiful day. The dogs are asleep on the lawn and the cicadas are buzzing and there’s a cool breeze. After the heat spell we just had, this is close to heaven. And then I think, […]

smiles all around
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Last Thursday we got our first real smile, we think. Then again on Friday, and only small ones since, but Livia has a pretty smile. I hope we get to see more of those soon, since we haven’t had any big ones since. Her gaze continues to become more fixated on things and less random, […]

paying attention
Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

As they say, things change so fast in newborns. Earlier, I wrote that her gaze was starting to be less random and to fixate more, but it was hard to tell. Now, it is obvious: she is keying in on strong visual stimuli, like the dark wooden beams in the living room and […]

I got the photo galleries working and now all pictures past and present are accessible by clicking the “Photo Galleries” link just below Livia’s picture at the top of the page. There are, as of this writing, three galleries - week 1, weeks 2-3, and friends and family. Enjoy!

Obsessed?
Friday, July 7th, 2006

Little miss Livia, who is sleeping on my chest as I type, is starting to grow some eyebrows. Also, when she cries, she cries Real Tears ™! Or at least her eyes get wet. Whatever - anyone who has never had kids who reads this must think that reporting on eyebrows is a bit obsessive, […]

how can she tell?
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Another interesting thing is how easily and quickly she discerns whether she’s being held or if she’s snuggled up close to one of us in bed. In other words, if you let her sleep by herself she maybe lasts ten minutes before she wakes up. But if she’s asleep on your chest she can […]
