Olivia update:
She's still cute, still owns my heart. We can add smiling (two weeks ago) and laughing (last week, although she giggled in her sleep before that) to her list o' skillz!! She is also working hard on trying to coordinate her spastic and robust leg and arm movements. She's over ten pounds now and going strong! Yay, bahbeh!

Here are some recent pictures of my darling grandbaby:

"Are you sure these camera people are safe?"

"Well, I guess it's okay if you say so, mommy."

"Smile? You mean, like this?"

"Okay, just one more."

I doubt it, but she keeps getting prettier and she keeps learning more skills. Let's list them, shall we?

• Breathing. She picked that one up all on her own, right away.
• Crying. She's very good at it and practices frequently.
• Burping. Not to be confused with ....
• Belching. Like a stevedore, my friends. Her Great Aunt Emily would be proud.
• Drinking. Probably should have listed this before the above.
• Cooing. Good lord, it slays me.
• Peeing. Wow! She is so talented.
• Pooing. Prolific child!
• Nursing. Yay! With gusto, I might add. Mom is also to be credited for this skill.
• Sleeping. Another skill she practices often. She is very, very good at this one.
• Grasping loved ones' fingers. *weep* Really, it's just too much.
