So Far

This little person Mila is still very much so a mystery. Will she always be tall? Will her hair be curly or straight? Will her eyes stay blue? What kind of music will she like? Will she enjoy sports?

Who is she?

We will discover the answers one at a time as the weeks turn into years.

Right now we know a few things about her. For example, we know she likes her pacifier, but she's not committed to it unless she's really upset. That's a good thing, too, since Ali Cat likes to steal them and hide them all over the house.

We know that Mila loves sleep, so much so that sometimes she forgets to eat. When her tummy eventually grumbles enough to disturb her slumber, she unleashes a fit of rage that can't be described with words. There's a angry growl that follows a high-pitched scream and is accompanied by a tomato-red scrunched up face. It's a fit of rage that unleashes a fit of giggles from Alexis because, "If you want to eat, just ask."

Mila wants to sleep all smooshed up, but if her eyes are open, her arms are out. She confidently holds her head high so that she can look all around because she has to be able to see the world. Her legs stay tucked, but the rest of her says I SEE YOU AND I WANT IN ON THIS ACTION.

Her eyes really are THAT bright. It's not a photography trick.

What is a photography trick is a little slight of hand that lessens the harshness of the baby acne that struck two weeks ago. It's nearly gone now, but for a few days it was pretty bad.

Other than that, though, she's perfect. She will continue to be perfect, but we'll have to wait to see how she defines the word.
