Six weeks! She is six weeks old already! Who keeps pushing the fast forward button?

Yes, I know it’s grainy and badly lit. Yes, I know I need to spend more time studying Tracey’s advice. But look! A smile! One of thousands. She is the smiliest baby. When she is awake.

    Be Like the Bird


    Be like the bird
    Who, pausing in flight
    On limb too slight,

    Yet sings,
    Knowing she has wings.

    —Victor Hugo
