2008 so far

This year can only get better.

New Year's Eve - in bed with The Cold
January 3rd - in bed with Bronchitis
January 6th - my mother had a heart attack, and was in Maine Med until the 11th
January 12th - Vi got her first cold

And now, suddenly, January is over next week (which means Vi will be 6 months old!!!), so for a member of the bookkeeping and accounting world, I'm screwed due to all the lost time I've had this month, my loss of my Friday child care, and the annoying little fact that there are only 24 hours in a day.

A few good things - Vi is enjoying experimenting with solid foods, she may very well cut a tooth this month, and her New! Colorful! Exersaucer! is so much fun.

We had a friend who used to say all the time to her little boy, "It's a good thing you're so cute." We thought it was a horrible thing to say at the time. Since Vi is my one true source of joy - I think I finally understand that friend. In my most difficult moments, I just look at her, and it's impossible not to smile.

Authorship of photos

Just to be clear, any photos of me and Vi were not taken by me, and credit should be given where credit is due.

So, thank you, anonymous and humble photographers in my life. Thank you.

Vi in her many moods

So Thirsty.
So Happy. (So cute. So monkey-like. So sweet.)
So Serious. (So overwhelmed with Christmas festivities)
So Sleepy.

So cool.
So relaxed.
So silly.
So intellectual.
So...I don't know. Everything goes in the mouth nowadays.
