Auntie KT comes to Town

K drove from Moscow, ID yesterday and could hang out today.  Fun stuff.  Went to Breakie at Sola with Kim, Kira, and Eddie. Hung out at our place (gave K the big tour), and then went walking in the Lindley Park Cemetary.  Cool place.  Earliest find: born 1830. Oddest discovery: a father-son duo that died on the same day in 1951 (presumably in an airplane). Saddest find: one that's too sad to say, but mainly that there were a half dozen babies that died at birthin the 20s and 30s, and many more that died shortly thereafter. Laura thinks that this is a sad entry to our blogging repertoire.  I disagree.  We saw a lot of history there, and it can give us a perspective on where we are.  We were lucky to have had a healthy pregnancy/birth, and also lucky to have had an excellent and informed midwife to help guide us towards that good health and guide us in labor.  Now we have a little bean, and I'm thankful for each day we've had with her.  Oh, now I've done it, Laura's crying. She clarifies that she too is thankful for each day we've had with her.  Sienna helps us to be better people, and it turns out she's very good at it.  Thanks Sienna! (now laura is laughing...we're in the clear).

Hey Squeeker.  you're quite the conundrum,
But I think thus far you most resemble KT.

Graveyards always have the best trees.

Dinner at Dad's. Pretty sunset in background,
cast against a fading thunderstorm.

Also, keep your eyes open in all major retail outlets
for... The Daddy Cap (patent pending)!!!

Infants supposedly mainly see high-contrast images.  So,
dad's no longer have to feel left out being sans-boob. 
With this wearable mobile, with high-contrast bulls-eyes and
spirals, dad can be the hit of the "Calm baby down, right now"
Party.

Laura says, " Hey, where'd my belly go?"

Oh Yeah... Should also mention that Sienna has made huge strides.  She is starting to hold eye contact longer, and it's starting to feel more like eye-contact versus the glazed-over look laura gives me when I start talking about high school football (laura wants me to clarify that she is very supportive of my high school football playing days).  Also, she definitely had some smiles. Actual smiles.  Hot-diggity.
