Ezri at one week old w/ monkey-monkey for scale.

Ezri takes a cue from Tito and Charlotte Quigley and poses with the sock monkey who helped teach her parents to diaper at baby basics class.

a rare open-eyed moment

They started blue, but her eyes are turning darker and I think they’ll be brown soon.

Sushi is not sure about the new hairless cat who seems to get a lot more lap time than she does.  Here she is learning to share the lap with Ezri.

All swaddled up like a burrito, Ezri relaxes on Eric’s lap.

I continue to be awed that she has all her bits.  Everything I’ve got from lips to liver is in this one small package.

She's so little.

My hand is bigger than her arm!

whoa.

Valentine's Day Photo

This is the family celebrating the day Eric and I consider our dating anniversary at the hospital.

We celebrate the 2nd Saturday of February each year as our first official date was  to the Carleton College Midwinter Ball held on that Saturday in 1995.  This year Ezri joins the celebration.

Oddly enough that first date was on February 11, 1995 – exactly 14 years before Ezri’s birthday.

Ezri and Charles Darwin!

Ezri missed being born on Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday by one day (she came just one day too soon).
Luckily, she still manages to keep close to Darwin.

Library staff stopped by to deliver Ezri’s library card, when she was but two days old.
