Leah's First Week

Well, little Leah is now one week old and it has been a full week. She's already survived one trip to the germ-filled pediatrician's office, spent two hours in the car driving to and from Cambridge, made her first few web-cam appearances, went for a walk around the neighborhood, quietly attended her first Mass, met her Uncle Bowker, lost her unbilical cord on day 6 (!) and dirtied about a hundred diapers.

We are still getting to know this tiny girl, but here are a few things we can say so far: She seems to really enjoy car rides - they put her to sleep. She mostly hates getting her diaper changed - her dad wears ear plugs for the job. She likes when her daddy hums with his chin on her head. She claws at her sad little face when she cries - I hate it when she does this. She gets the hiccups after almost every meal.

I love it when she makes this little "o" with her mouth!
