Well, as of August 16, this Saturday, Sloan will officially be 3 moths old. Yay! We made it alive to 3 months. I think that's some sort of Baby milestone, right? Some things should change.
Speaking of change, and speaking as the father, I am amazed at how everyday the bond between us grows stronger and stronger and I know and understand her more. Amy has it down. She lived with Sloan from the beginning.
As I see her become more aware of her surroundings and reaching for things, pulling objects toward her, turning her body from her tummy to her back and sitting up without a bobbling head, I can't get enough. I want to know, when she makes her little sounds with her mouth, one sounds like bacon frying, the other goes "a-goo," what she is wanting to say. I want to know what she thinks. I want to listen to her talk for hours.
I see her starting to try out her different faces, and only when she is sleeping, I hear her giggle. I wish she would do this while she was awake. I can't wait to her her laugh too.
And even though I say I can't wait...I will. I will savor every moment impatiently.

La la love you, don't mean maybe....
There is a series of Lullabye albums called "Rockabye" that take contemporary artists and turn their music into lovely music box lullabyes for your baby.
I know it's custom made for "my generation" who are now all having babies and settling into domestic bliss, but I guess I am a sucker because I fell for it when they released this:
The track listing includes
1. Debaser
2. Where Is My Mind?
3. Monkey Gone to Heaven
4. Caribou
5. Velouria
6. Ana
7. Here Comes Your Man
8. Alec Eiffel
9. La Love You
10. Gigantic
11. Wave of Mutilation
And it's actually very nice and soothing. Hell, might as well get the kid hooked on the classics. The Farmer in the Dell only goes so far nowadays.
You can find it on Itunes or at Amazon here: Rockabye Pixies.

HAPPY 7 WEEKS, PINKY!!! Happy Birthday USA!!!!
Our Baby Phee, as of 10:39 AM, July 4th, 2008 will be seven weeks old. She looks so much bigger than just a few weeks ago.
It's also Independance Day for the US of A. Baby Sloan will be unable to light off fireworks as the "hold daddy's punk" training was unsuccessful. Something about not being able to keep her head up and being unable to fully operate a bic lighter yet. Well, not for the lack of trying. Maybe next year, Pinky.
As this is an election year, if anyone wonders, Sloan Parker Phelan officially endorses Obama. With Sloan's help, he should be able to capture the "Under 1" female age group that could successfully swing the General his way.
Gobama '08!
Cats think Baby Sloan's stuff is for them.
We have to keep an eye on Teela-bird and Mr Diddle.
They are of the assumption that in the past seven weeks we have moved in a plethora of cat sized items, cutom made for their little cat butts.
Uh-uh. Nope.
They will as you can see, take every chance to make Sloan's stuff their own.
Silly pooties.
We try to keep the animals out of her room but it's impossible.
Ruby has already eaten a few of her soothies (and then pooped them out.)
She is more aware of them all every day. They are very gentle with her and I know they'll all be great friends.
