1,000 Things About Joanna

a work in progress.

Thursday, May 04, 2006

30. Your first cold happened to you when you were three weeks old. You cough just like your mother and big sister, and then you make the most pitiful little mewling cry, just one little "Aa!" that clearly says, "That hurt!" Then you drop your head onto my chest with a little more force than usual.

Luckily, so far you seem not to have enough snot to need to be sucked out. Because we have no idea where the snot-snorfeler went.

29. At your two-week checkup you officially weighed in at 9 pounds, 2 ounces and were 21.5 inches long.

28. Your daddy can often calm you better than I can. You certainly quiet down and settle in the instant you hear him sing.

27. You do this odd thing where you shut your eyes and lie relatively still, sometimes for hours at a time. Apparently it's called sleeping and it's quite common among older children and adults, but we didn't really realize that some babies do it too.
