Wherever we go we take Monkey Mittens
September 14, 2005This is the first recorded evidence of Melina smiling at me. I was singing "Brass Monkey" to her... slightly edited for content of course.
Instead of "wherever we go, we take monkey with us", we take monkey mittens.
That's how we roll.

Melina at 3 weeks with mom and dad
I'm going to have a wicked jump shot
September 01, 2005 Check it out... the concentration, the determination, the follow through.
7 weeks
September 01, 2005We hit the seven week mark today and it seems like ages ago that I gave birth. I am sure you have all heard the labor story by now and yes, it is still fresh in my memory. I understand now why many people wait a couple of years before having their next child.
Melina is growing away and weighs about 10lbs now. She talks (well we call it talking), smiles and is developing her little personality each day. So much has happened in the last 7 weeks. She has met all her grandparents, many friends, neighbors and even some of the local creek go-ers. We’ve been on daily walks, many adventures around Marin and even out to dinner a couple of times and made it through the entire meal! We have also had our share of spit-ups, diaper blow-outs, flying pee and even our first ER visit (which was scary, but all is OK). Speaking of the bodily fluids, how can something so small have so much poop come out? I had to part with outfit number three today. So far I have had to trash three outfits, three changing pads, one pair of PJ’s and a pair of Bill’s khakis. There is only so much spray and wash can do. Oh, and to follow-up with those of you who heard about the couch incident, believe it or not, it is covered under our Macys couch warranty. I am not one for warranties, but boy was that money well spent.
All in all, life is good. Melina is a joy and we are loving watching her grow each day.
