Lullabye and Goodnight


Josh and I have finally completed the crib set up and Mia took her first nap in the crib over the weekend. I can hardly believe how small she looks when she is in it. Such a peanut. She seems to not even notice the difference from the cradle and has slept well in the crib so far. I am still a bit nervous to let her sleep in there for the night - and I guess a bit hesitant to move her from our room. Once we do that, she will finally be growing up - and I am not sure that I am ready to accept that yet.


Tomorrow Mia and I are heading to New York to spend a few days with Nancy and Liz. I am excited to get out of the house and to have a little change of pace from the daily grind. I am nervous about the 3 1/2 hour car ride there - but if we time it correctly - I shouldn't have a problem. I know that Aunt Eli is beside herself with excitement to see Mia - and she will have to duke it out with Nancy to hold her. I can't believe how much stuff you have to travel with when you bring a baby away. I keep walking around the house thinking that I am forgetting something crucial. Josh and I are packing the car shortly - and we have so many bags and stroller parts and toys and........


Karen, Sean and Cormac came over to visit on Sunday. We were so excited to see them all and I think they enjoyed meeting Mia for the first time. Cormac was thrilled to meet Docket, even though his barking terrified him for a minute. It was wonderful for me to see how much a baby grows in a year. Wow - next year we will be running around after Mia and trying to determine what the heck she is saying. I can't wait.


I will post again when we get home from NYC. I am sure there will be many pictures of Mia to share. Some new pics of crib time have been added to our albums.
