Baby diary -- Ist entry

They're six months old, as of August 28, and I'm just getting to this now. Well, better late than never.

I resolved (a while ago) to write just two lines each day about what the babies are doing. More if I want to.

Ada is sitting up. She started last Tuesday. Yesterday, she played keyboards. Today, Lydia, who is still a bit wobbly sitting (can't stay up by herself for more than a moment) played keyboard, too.

We went into Northampton today. The weather was great. We went to the Smith art museum, which was fun. Not many people there. Nursed each on a comfortable couch in the basement modern art collection. Seemed oddly loud as it was echoey. Had iced coffee and ran into Matt and his newish girlfriend. She seems nice.

Panicky about money. Am going to pursue being a postpartum doula. Will order a book today.

Made a list of daily things to do last night that I'm keeping on my computer. If I do them all every day, things should be awesome. It may be too long, though.

We started treating Lydia for acid reflux last week, and it seems to be helping, though she often still seems uncomfortable and in pain. Just now, though, she was laughing and smiling in her sleep. She laughs a lot when Mommy and Daddy are silly. One thing Lydia and Ada have are similar chuckles. Although Ada is a very smiley baby, Lydia chuckles a bit more. Ada has taken to a sort of guttural yelp when pleased or excited, which is often: seeing Daddy, seeing Mommy, seeing a cat (which, with three cats in a small apartment, happens often), being offered a cool toy to play with, the piano, things outside.
