Strawberry

Eve enjoyed her first bath in a real bathtub. It was a rite of
passage. Next up: rolling over.

When Eve was a few weeks old we noticed about six tiny red dots on the
left side of her belly. Come to find out she has what is called a
Strawberry Hemangioma. [Click here for more details:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemangioma] I think it is darling.
Early on when we contemplating its origins we told the boys that it
was "The Mark" that she was "The Chosen One" and that if needed we
would place her in a basket of reeds and send her down the river in
hopes that a village of little people would find her and woudl take
her on a journey where she would conquer evil and become a queen.

Last week Eve turned two months old. It sure seems like she has been
part of our family a whole heap longer than just two months. At her
doc appointment she weighed almost 13 lbs. and is 24 1/2 inches long.
She's a speedy eater and every now and then I worry about her getting
enough but those elbow creases, that double chine, and especially her
leg rolls, not to mention all the wet diapers, convince me that she is
doing just fine. She's still sleeping through the night and has
recently started to smile and coo.

As we plod through the ups and downs and stresses of selling a house I
am especially grateful that this little one is so content and
preditable. I was extremely thankful that her 2 mo. vaccines didn't
even seem to phase her.

Just last week Eve had the opportunity to meet most of her Warner and
Bacon family. What a treat to show her off to grandma's, grandpa's,
aunts, uncles, and oodles of cousins.
