The last two weeks have been a blur . . .the Ohio primary, Orly's shots (I cried), a visit from my mother (aka Susu) and the blizzard of '08. We actually got nearly a foot of snow and it made me excited for the years to come when we can take O sledding. M and flirted with bundling her up and taking her out in the backyard to look at the snow and document her first "blizzard," but, in the end it seemed too cold and we never made it out of our PJs.
What has not been a blur is O. She is growing so fast. Last night in the bath she was practically sitting up all by herself. She has also begun to more acutely experience and enjoy the world around her--her pure delight in story time and the pleasure that sucking her thumb brings. Yesterday she was alternating thumbs. Good times!
O is also a playa'. She knows already how to get your attention with tears and melt your heart with her gummy, gummy smile. When my mom was visiting she would be fussing about something (food or diaper) and then see my mom come in the room, turn her head and smile at her Susu and then return to fussing at me or M. She already knows who is going to buy her the pony and the Barbie dream house! But as H reminded me in an email the other day, "don't hate the playa', hate the game." So, play on little playa. Play on.

She is 100% O.G. (Orly Goodness), that's for sho.
I ran into Susu at the NYC conference! We had a little confab of glee about your child, right there in the bookfair. Oh what a lucky girl that little baby is, to have such a granny. xo e.
