get my baby some sophistication!












exactly eight months ago, eve and i did a bunch of work, and then we slept really well. that work began with me laughing--that i had gone into labor early, that we were missing a harry potter trivia night, that our house was filthy and nothing was packed for the hospital. today, i did a bunch of work printing out my dissertation for about seventeen hours, and now eve is sleeping really well. she did a lot of work, too. apparently, she's quite the little drummer at day care, and she spends a lot of time having milks and food. this evening, she figured out how to drop her fishies back in their musical aquarium, and she also learned how to throw them. so eve probably did way more than me today. no wonder she went to bed first. it's important to note that we also began today laughing (and pleading for more sleep) as eve sang, kicked and windmilled her way into the morning. in the eight months between these two mornings, this pups has only gotten funnier, sweeter, cuter, and more wonderful.

this week, i've been having my own little pupster retrospective, and i wanted to share some highlights in this post. due to the magic of digital photographic technology, i can assure you that each picture is from a day or two around her 'birthday.' the last two pictures were taken today. as i agonized over which one to choose, ted reminded me that i could post both. how novel!

so there you go, nine pictures for eight months. enjoy watching her eyes get bigger and smiles get more varied--i know we do.

Those are so wonderful, Erin, and I've loved taking this digital journey with you. Bravo for the dissertation finale! Zowie - You've done a lot more than I have this past 8 months - and there's more to come!
It's obvious you're a happy little family and I'm blessed.
Love,
Nanet
P.S. "On your mark, get set . . ." - it won't be long now - you'll be chasing Eve full time.
