Two Weeks Old

Mary Day turned two weeks old today. How did she celebrate? Like anyone would: by eating her favorite food and taking long naps. Then early this evening she gave us a wry glance that seemed to imply that she plans on staying up late tonight to wrap it all up in style. We're not sure about that, but, whatever, it's her birthday.

These have been the best two weeks of our lives. Usually, when things are marshmallows and sunshine, time seems to fly. But for some reason, the last two weeks have crawled by, and that's great. We've been able to really enjoy each moment. Every day, she gets more and more beautiful; her eyes, mouth, and voice become just a little more expressive; and she's awake a little bit longer. Also, she spits up more.

The angelic Baby Mary.
