Baby you can drive my car

Well, we were interviewed for an article for the Salt Lake Tribune today. I'll let you know when it is printed. This woman is writing an article on colic and interviewed us about our colicky baby. Of course, Isis is fascinated by new people so she was pretty happy the whole time they were here. That's how it goes.

It turns out that someone is writing a book about colic. He claims it doesn't exist. I'd like to let him watch Isis for a day. The book would never happen.

On the other hand, we are holding her a little tighter these days because a friend of mine at work just had one of her grandbabies die. The baby had all the risk factors for SIDS. He was a twin who was a serious preemie that had been through an awful lot, but he had been home from the NICU for a few weeks and they thought he was doing well. My heart really goes out to their whole family. I can't imagine and don't want to try. Today, I'm thankful for the screaming.

I'm even more thankful for the giggling.

STRESS

Well, we were overly enthusiastic about Isis sleeping this weekend because she was back to fussy and not sleeping yesterday. The nanny, however, always seems able to get her to sleep. I'm afraid to take her out of her car seat.

I have a huge paper due for class tomorrow, so she will be going back to the nanny again tomorrow. I hope I can finish the paper in time.

Jeff and I are meeting with window people to replace the big windows in our living room and kitchen. That should be pricey and messy. We're not looking forward to it.

I can't believe how big she's gotten! Look at this picture from just a few weeks ago.

Well, it seems like Joan and Leon's kids are doing it, so we should too. Hate to be out of the loop.

Isis has started taking naps and we couldn't be more pleased. We're convinced the nanny is drugging her. She sleeps at the nanny's house and comes home happy. We are anxious to find out her methods.

Overall, we're doing better. Less screaming and more sleeping makes us all happier. Plus, the nanny is worth her weight in gold.

Jeff's dad and his girlfirend, Mary, came for a visit this weekend, but Jeff and I were sick all weekend. Isis even had a fever. So, we were pretty lame for the whole visit. It was nice to see them anyway and they got to meet Isis even though she slept.

Admittedly, she is sleeping less now that she is feeling better, but she is smiling more. We are still working on catching one of these elusive smiles on film.
