Hi Richard glad to hear all is well on your end. I hope you have fun baby
proofing the whole house. My time will soon come I am sure.
Well Izabella is almost 6 months old, she is crawling all over the place and
she has 3 teeth already. Things are going so great.
Izabella, like micaela, loves the water as well, and loves to be dunked too.
It was hard for me at 1st to do this as well. But it never seems to bother
her.
What was Micaelas web site that you have made for her, I would love to look
at some more pictures of her.
Thanks for the update on her and your family. Glad to see you back here
posting.

How
: is little Micaela doing?

Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for asking. We're doing well. Micaela is taking her
time
outgrowing babyhood -- nine months, no teeth, not crawling, but thriving
nonetheless. It's starting to look like she's going to walk before she
crawls. Her legs are strong and she is starting to develop balancing
skills.
sigh. It's time to babyproof the house (a MAJOR task!).

We're starting solids. Her favorites are peas and brown rice (out of the
jar
with some breastmilk stirred in) and avocado and breastmilk (her clear
favorite).

She and I are taking a swimming course together, "Tiny Tugboats". She's
quite
comfortable in the water. When I dunk her (one of the lessons, and very
difficult (for me) the first time), she just comes up, blinks, and
continues
looking around as if nothing happened.

She's a great baby; we're very lucky. She has shown no obvious signs of
stranger anxiety (though we're keeping an eye out for it) and, most of the
time, is a great restaurant baby. She had a great nine-month checkup;
everything looks fine. As I said, we have been (and are) quite fortunate.

How is Izabella doing? How about an update? Her web site is nice, and
the
watch-me-eat-my-fist pose looks all too familiar.

Thanks again for asking.
