Update from the trenches

I have determined the number of posts I make to the blog is directly related to the number of great nights of sleep I get at home!

Uma is now six weeks old and is growing into a healthy, chubby little cutie. She still has the most beautiful big blue eyes and now that she can see a little better with them, she'll look you right in the eye and say hello. She also throws off some smiles, although they are not really directed at anyone yet. On the sleeping front, she is so much easier than Rohan was. Rohan had to be held and rocked at all times with a binky in his face or he was screaming his little head off. Uma is fairly content to spend time on her own between feeding and napping, and at nap time she goes down and stays down much easier too. I am sure this little girl will be an angel just like this through her teenage year right?

Rohan is doing well in his new role as big brother. At first he wanted to pretend she wasn't ther but that didn't really work. Then he tried hard to monopolize my and Tina's time and that had decent success, but now I think he is starting to accept her and sometimes even says "baby" when he sees her. Rohan's biggest developmental note is how rapidly his speech is growing. He can say or at least will try to say anything you say to him. He is very fond of expressions, such as "oh cool," "wow," and "oooooooh." The Nanny taught him to say "oh my God" and we are trying to break that one now. I don't think our nanny knows that is not acceptable language for a toddler! So, visitors beware, we are not looking for a Fokker-like incident...watch your mouth around Rohan!

Off to catch another flight. Ciao for now.

Amen to that brother! I hadn't seriously considered blogging from my mobile phone, but that's not a bad way to fill some dead time.

Thanks for the tip and congrats on your healthy baby girl!
