nothing much

Havilah laughed last night for the first time. Her brother was being silly at the dinner table and she started giggling at him!

She also took a trip to the doctor yesterday. The baby has gained another two pounds! She now tips the scales at 12 pounds, 15 ounces (90th percentile). And she is two feet tall (95%). The doctor said, "Well, folks, she looks like a million bucks!" He also said something to the effect that we don't need him to tell us she's chubby. Ha! Her grandpa (Honeycutt) would disagree: she's just well-hydrated.

Billy cleaned the house this morning. As he told John, "At least your mom can have visual calm, if she can't have auditory calm." Take that to mean what you will about our weekend (I know, it's just Friday afternoon but our "weekend" is wrapping up since Billy is off work Wednesdays-Fridays). I am very happy to be married to someone who takes more than his share of the load and is an (almost) tireless parent. I don't know how people raise kids on their own--it's quite admirable. For me, I am thankful to have Billy along for the ride.

Enjoy your weekends, dear friends and family!
