Anna and Alexis

If you want to look ridiculous in front of your co-workers, especially the non-parent ones, follow these steps:

1. Have an excited conversation on the phone
2. Hang up with an excited smirk on your face
3. When they ask what’s up, tell them your daughter rolled over.

That seemed to work pretty well for me today. Leigha called me at lunch today to tell me that Anna had, in no uncertain terms, expressed her deep dissatisfaction with this affront to her indenpendence that was “tummy time” and she wasn’t going to take it laying down. No siree, she was rolling over! She rolled over a bunch of times, I was told.

So when my friends invited me to lunch and I said “No thanks! I’m going home to watch my daughter roll over,” their puzzled looks expressed something I’d translate as “that’s the worst excuse he’s ever come up with.”

I’d like to claim that I came up with an adorable personalized gift for Leigha on another first occasion, but that wouldn’t be entirely truthful. As I perused the selection at Target, I was torn between something cute/funny from Anna or something sentimental from me. How would Anna help me personalize it? I had a plan but technical difficulties prevented me from fully realizing it. I actually like the way it turned out, even if it wasn’t as intended.

Happy Mother’s Day, my love.

Just uploaded 4 pictures to the gallery to celebrate her second month of life. Two months ago at this time we were getting our first glimpses of the top of her head! As requested, this batch includes more pictures of Anna with her mom.
