[/caption] i told myself i would make sure if i blogged that a few things didn't happen: it would not become political, it would not become a boring recording of all details of my kid, and i would work hard not to give too much unsolicited advice. difficult time to refrain from all of those things. i have found on other's blogs that sometimes it is fun to grab a recipe or music recommendation or things like that, so i thought i would just try that out? Run Fat Boy Run - GREAT flick. if you are the type to be drawn to the endearing quirky characters, you will like this movie too. it is sweet, moderately sappy, very funny movie. i love to laugh and cry in a movie. Lullaby Renditions of Coldplay, the Weepies, Be Good Tanyas, and John Mark McMillian are the four CD's played most often in our house right now. i feel like a dork that i even said CD's, clearly these are itunes. Hannah really likes music so it has been fun to have it going more often during the day. the weather always affects what i feel like playing for her.

and last random note for the day is to give tee tiny update on HAO is two new things i have learned about her in the last week. a - She is SO curious. it is amazing. for a 3 week old, she is checking out the world around her. she is alert and focused. its so cool. she loves light and patterns. she has also made great eye contact in the last week which TOTALLY melts our hearts. i think this is much like her dad to be so inquisitive. b - chaos can be soothing for her. this is my dream come true. she seems to be calm when i walk outside to the loud traffic, when i turn the music up a little louder, or when we are in a resturaunt packed with people. she has peaceful alert times during this and i love it, its like she wants to be a part of the action.. this much like her mom.
