Just a few reasons our babies are brilliant:
- At just two days old, Daniel was already lifting his head up when he was in a "tummy time", face-down position.
- Caroline has already discovered that she has nearly complete control over her uncle with just a little wink of her eye
- On their sixth day of life both Max and Daniel reached up to hold their own bottles while mommy (or Aunt Laya) was fumbling trying to feed them
Major events this week:
- 9/15 - Birthday! First bath, first bottle, first time meeting both sets of Grandparents, Aunt Lee Ann, Uncle Kelly, and both Great Aunts! Got radio "shout outs" from KCBS and from the A's Radio Network during the broadcast of the A's/Royals game.
- 9/16 - Graduation from the Intensive Care Nursery to the "step-down nursery", first non-family visitors (Linda, Matt & Chelsea, Tom & Carla). Message on the big screen at AT&T Park.
- 9/17 - Graduation from nursery care - move into Mommy's room at the hospital, Daniel spits up on Grandpa for the first time
- 9/18 - Passed their first hearing tests, visit from Anjali & Ajay (and their parents), watched first baseball game on TV (Yankees/Orioles), got their Hepatitis-B vaccinations
- 9/19 - Watched their first football game on TV (Bears/Cowboys), visits from Mary Farquhar and Diana, discharged from the hospital, first car ride, first night at home
- 9/20 - First doctor's appointment (with a very pretty pediatrician, according to Max, Daniel, and Daddy), last blood draw to check for jaundice (whew!), watched first 49ers game on TV (loss to Saints, 25-22)
- 9/21 - First time spent away from Mommy (she had a doctor's appointment), Grandma, Aunt Laya, and Diane came to visit

Hello! My name is Laya and I have a blog called "Aunt Laya" (I'm an author and I go by "Aunt Laya" to a lot of my readers). So there's this thing called "google alert" where you can sign up to find out if your name is mentioned anywhere on the internet, which I signed up for... and since you have an Aunt Laya, a link to your blog came up which I clicked on. It wasn't me that was mentioned of course but how could I come to your blog and not stop to at least say congratulations on your sweet new babies, really yummy! So, may you all be blessed with so many happy times and the best of good health. May mommy and daddy have lots of help and lots of patience. And, well, look me up in another thirteen years when you start the teen years with you sweeties. :-)
