If I create a blog to write about one daughter, and title it after her, and make little mention of my other daughter, who is the absolute joy of my life, how can I be considered a good father? What does it say about me that I've spent all afternoon creating posts to update people on Aria, without saying hardly anything about Daisy?
Daisy is doing great. She will be walking soon, and will then become impossible to keep up with (up with which to keep?) because she already gives us a workout by crawling. She's tiny, still, but is gaining more weight now that we've switched her to whole milk. And oh my goodness, can she put it away! We're averaging more than three gallons a week with her. That strikes me as a lot. By comparison, I am about 10 times her weight. If I were to consume milk at her rate, I would need an entire herd of dairy cattle.
She plays peek-a-boo by herself. It's so funny to watch her pull her coat over her eyes, hold it there for a few seconds, and then pull it away with a big smile. She'll laugh if you say "Peekaboo!" at the right time. We're trying to teach her to blow kisses, and I was able to teach her to wave while saying "hi", but she really doesn't say much else other than "all done". Which she will bust out at any time (out with which she will bust at any time?). It's her all-purpose phrase. I also noticed her making parallel downward motions with both arms, and I am trying to associate that movement with the command "quiet the stadium".
She's starting to go through separation anxiety, which is interesting, since she seemed so chill before. Now, if she's in the playpen, I can't even go into the closet in the same room without her shrieking. This may pose a problem when Aria is to be born. I think it means we'll have to look for accomodations in Indianapolis for a couple weeks, and bring her with us.
So, the blog needs to be renamed. It's not fair that Daisy gets left out. I'm not proud of the oversight. I guess it's a good lesson to learn now, rather than after Aria comes. Daisy's not going to need us any less.
I believe that catches everybody up with Aria's situation and where Daisy is. If I don't post until after Christmas, may you all have a great holiday!
