tidbits

for the last time (as I fear I will have to start every post with an apology), sorry.  my new life as mama has taken it's toll on scheduling and all things pre-baby.  

a few updates.  we've hit a few milestones... most important dante smiled.  : ) he smiled.  not a smile of relief.  a patterning smile.  i smiled, he smiled.  what an amazing feeling.  i think this is his first foray into socializing... and it is a great feeling.  i've tried to capture it on camera, i'll keep trying.  the next milestone is that he slept for five hours.  well five hours between feedings, meaning i slept for four hours.  i felt like a rockstar.  

we had a surprise visit from dante's uncle david on wednesday.  my brother flew in for the day to meet his nephew and see us.  dante and david made their first trip to the arch, met dave for lunch and made a quick tour of our neighborhood... then we had to rush to the airport to make david's flight.  it was a great day and wonderful to see my brother with dante.  it's funny to be trading parenting tips with my bro.  

things are progressing in the right direction... we'll keep you posted.

Love, 

us
