Three fresh Pixie photos up at Flickr. She was three weeks old yesterday!<\/p>\n
We had dinner with our friends, whom we have decided to designate as Emergency Backup Parents<\/em> instead of godparents. We realize it’s a bulkier term to say, but we enjoy the cute humor (if you’ve ever read Dave Barry you will appreciate it), and it’s more accurate. M cooked a yummy pasta dinner. K held Bean to get her baby fix (M got a turn too).<\/p>\n By being with other people who aren’t flustered when Bean begins to fuss, I felt more relaxed with it too. This morning (up at 6 a.m., with her alone until 12:30 p.m.), was peaceful and pleasurable, with a little fussing sprinkled in. I’m also getting better at doing things one-handed — like making my morning coffee or getting a bottle for Bean. (Turns out that she hates<\/em> the Infantino sling. She wants to be upright and to see stuff<\/em>, although her neck isn’t strong enough to hold her head up.<\/p>\n I yearn for a nap and may take one since Husband is now up and cuddling with The Bean. I may just join them on the sofa in the loft and doze. Later we’ll take her out in the stroller for a walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three fresh Pixie photos up at Flickr.
