This morning started out normal enough... I got up ridiculously early to play racketball, (which I haven't done in months and wow did it feel good!) then started my morning routine of shuttling kids all over...
Right as I was walking out the door with Kaylee for the final kid-shuttle-operation before heading to the office, the phone rang. Since Cindy was serving breakfast to the daycare kids, I ran over and grabbed the phone. It was my sister Karen... She's in New Mexico on a business trip, and her daughter Michelle had gone into labor this morning - six weeks early!
All along, Cindy has always been someone you want on your side when you're having a baby. She's a pro, and would someday like to be a midwife. Add in our own experience with a Preemie just a few months ago (10 months? wow!), and Cindy was pretty much a MUST ATTEND to the birthing party. So she assured Karen that she'd go help out, I did a quick check-in at the office, and came home to hold things down here.
Translation? I GET TO PLAY WITH MY BABY TODAY!!!
And I'm not sure what's better than playing with the world's cutest 10 month old... who also just happens to LOVE spending time with her daddy... Just look!!
And now that I've posted the cuteness, she's getting fussy. Must be lunch time! This baby has decided that she really doesn't like bottles anymore, but she makes up for it by eating her weight in cereal and fruit every day!
Also, she just really cracked us both up... Cindy asked me to tend to her Farmville farm on Facebook while she was gone. So in the background on the computer, there are chickens clucking, cows mooing, goats making whatever sound goats make... And Danee has discovered the volume control for the computer speakers. She's discovered how to turn it WAY UP. It's a one-way trip for her.
I didn't notice she was playing with it, but just a second ago, a couple chickens started clucking at the same time, at full blast, and Danee just about jumped out of her adorable sleeper! Made me laugh out loud, and when she saw that, she started laughing too... LOVE this baby girl!!
Look at those smiles! You're lucky to get a stay at home day like that! These are some of the best pictures of Danee yet!
ReplyDeleteYeah, she was being so incredibly cute, I HAD to get the camera out to catch her... and unlike many other times, she kept being adorable even after the camera started clicking!
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome having Cindy there. She was a very good birthing helper!
ReplyDeleteDanee is such a doll! And those pj's are the perfect cuddle clothing. Lucky dad!
