Jumpin G. Willikers!

We introduced Veroninca to the the Jump & Go last night. Veronica was so excited that her eyes popped out of her head and rolled onto the floor, but they still never stopped looking at the Jump & Go. Veronica had a great time in the jumper and we didn't even turn the ADHD-inducing-lights-and-sounds until the end.

In other Veronica related news, Momma returned to work last week and Veronica was not happy. Momma got the stink eye from V when she walked in the door at the end of the day. Fortunately for everyone involved, Veronica has adjusted and is all smiles when Momma gets home from work now. Most fortunate of all is Daddy, who is home for another three weeks on paternity leave and enjoying the unseasonably sunny weather.

Yes We Can!

Remember when those "1.20.09" bumper stickers seemed so far off? ... Veronica doesn't either. The three of us watched the inauguration together. Veronica may not have appreciated the magnitude of the moment, but she did appreciate getting to watch tv. Yes We Can!

Things have slowly returned to normal in Seattle after the holidays. The snow melted and family returned home, although for some reason the Eagles are still playing. Veronica has loyally been watching the games sporting her Brian Westbrook jersey to bring the Iggles good luck.


We tried to introduce a night time ritual to help Veronica get to sleep and sleep through the night since Momma goes back to work on Monday. Alas, V still wakes up every 2-3 hours to nurse during the night. The night time ritual of a tubby, a song, and a bottle hasn't changed V's sleep pattern at all, but describing it is an good excuse to post tubby pics.


Veronica had a play date with some big girls this week too. And big girls are the coolest! One of Momma's colleagues, Jennifer, stopped by with her two daughters Olivia and Anna. Veronica laughed harder watching the girls play than she has ever laughed before. Cleary she has been humoring us with courtesy laughs all this time. The girls jumped around and Veronica couldn't keep her eyes off of them.


Daddy started his paternity leave this week with extra week of sick time added to the beginning to recover from getting his knee scoped. Opening a vacation with knee surgery doesn't lend itself to many kodak moments, but at least we can all sleep in a bit later that usual or just hang out and chat.
