The problem with things going well is that it doesn’t provide much fodder for interesting things to share with the rest of the world. (And in some cases, you’re afraid to brag to the world about how well things are going, lest you tempt fate and things stop going so well.) All that said, things have been going very well. Leah has been eating well, growing well, sleeping relatively well, and in general being a good baby. Her weight check last Tuesday showed that she was already back above her birth weight by 3 ounces, which is excellent - the usual rule of thumb is that babies should be back to within one ounce of their birth weight by 2 weeks of age.

Ian has been doing well, he seems to be adjusting well to his little sister - I think having me home to provide him extra attention has probably helped to balance out the attention being lost to little sister. I started working half-days from home last Wednesday, and went back into the office for the first time today (still just half-days this week, though). Ian seems to finally be getting past his “going-to-sleep” issues, or at least doing a lot better job of doing so, and it seems Shawna actually had a good first afternoon with the two of them at home by herself today.

We had a very mellow weekend - went to a picnic in the park on Saturday sponsored by our financial advisors. Aside from being a bit windy and brisk it was a nice outing - Ian got to spend some quality time in the bouncy castle, and we got some free barbecue and out of the house for a bit. Otherwise, the weekend was just spent keeping the house in order, doing a bit of shopping, and lazing around the house. I can’t say that I’m exactly ready to go back to work full time; working from home, now that I have a reasonably private space to do it in, was kind of a nice thing - I think I’m going to start trying to do it on a slightly regular basis, assuming it doesn’t get too many people at work upset.

I also finally got my new camera, which I am thus far enjoying - I will leave you with a few photos to enjoy.
