Our little baby has just been a blessing since the moment she was born! Suddenly there is nothing more important in life than making sure she is happy and comfortable!

The other day when my mom was holding her and she was just happy looking around, I walked up to her and said hi...she truly seemed to recognize me and gave me what could be as close to a smile as a two week and two day old could muster. My mom and I are quite sure that she recognized me as mama and also more importantly as dinner, because she immediatly decided that she was hungry.

It's amazing what feelings a mama can stir up!

Another cute story. If you are not interested in our baby's bowel movements, stop now! :-) I believe it is every parent's rite of passage to share their baby's poopie stories with disinterested parties.

Ours starts, when Anupam was playing with Eve, during a diaper change, before he had exchanged the solied diaper for a clean one. He had "un-velcroed" the wet daiper and it was sitting under her butt, when she started to pee. He quickly managed to cover her up and managed to catch most of the offending liquid. Both of us cooed saying what a good girl she was.

Then she started to poo. Anupam was just marvelling at how it was oozing out as he was holding her legs up. When suddenly, with a loud bang, she turned that ooze into a projectile weapon. She shot poo with an intensity never seen before. She gained lots of brownie points in Anupam's eyes, when, to our amazement, she shot her poo almost all the way to the wall. She hit Anupam with the first volley, on his chest. He jumped away for the second one which landed on the carpet. Both of us looked at her with the kind of marvel that only over indulgent parents can have and then hunted down the carpet cleaner.
