I took a bunch of pictures of Baby J, trying to get a smile...of course that only happened when my finger was far from the shutter button. This is the closest I got to a smile!

Almost Smiling
I took a bunch of pictures of Baby J, trying to get a smile...of course that only happened when my finger was far from the shutter button. This is the closest I got to a smile!

The Favourite Toy
This is currently Baby J's favourite toy. She doesn't play with it so much as clutch the cloth. It was a gift from a friend of mine in England and apparently it's one of the "bestsellers" on the Marks and Spencer website. It's great with its different textures and Baby J is really soothed by the soft side of the cloth if we rub her clenched fists or head with it.
Oh, and looking at the M&S site makes me really miss shopping there!

Ambiance
Our dining room has a horrible chandelier thing in it that we hate. It's not exactly the prettiest thing going and it's a really harsh, bright light (it will soon be replaced!) Anyway, tonight we got smart and got the candles out for dinner...much better!

Bouncy Chair
My colleagues had a shower for me today and Baby J got this super wonderful bouncy chair. This is the first time she sat in it and she's obviously entranced by it!

One Red Sock
Fifers made Baby J a cute hat and one sock. Baby J has grown so much, she was worried that the sock wouldn't fit. But it does. So she headed home tonight to make a second one (well, she might not make it tonight, but she will make it!)

Baby J's big cousin came to visit today. She was completely enthralled by Baby J and sat next to her saying "baby, baby, baby" over and over again.

Confetti
Alex and I brought home some treats from Italy when we were there in October. They have been safely stored in the cupboard, waiting for a special occasion. We broke out one bag of them today - these ones were all different - some had nuts, some had chocolate, some seemed to have licorice. I wish we could find them here too!

Out Cold
Baby J helped me with some computer work tonight. She wasn't interested for long. She is already a multitasker - while she helped me, she also modelled her new hat from Auntie Rebar.

I'm Cheap
A birthday present from Team Hardcore arrived while I was in the hospital. The Australian CD came with this "I'm Cheap, Buy Me Now" label. Baby J and I listened to the CD today and quite liked it!

Milk Machine
The nurse asked me if I felt like a milk cow when I hook myself up to this contraption, and you know what, I kind of do...I can't wait until it's just a fading memory!!

Working Lungs
Baby J's lungs work...we had a bit of a long night with her last night...and it continued this morning while she cuddled with Daddy. But at least we know her vocal cords work.
