Antoinette Speaks; Antoinette Smiles

This morning, before the rest of the family awoke, Antoinette and I had some quality time together -- watching hockey highlights from the night before (go Canucks!), playing with her stuffed animals, tummy time on the floor, and cooing at each other. I was able to catch a little bit of her joy on camera.

First, Antoinette smiles:

And then, Antoinette speaks!
(I swear she tries to say, "I love you"!)

The Joys of Being a Second Child

Becky & I were joking that much has happened in Antoinette's first six weeks that never happened with James, or that we never would have allowed to have happened. With this spirit in mind, we thought it would be worth starting a list of such firsts.

#1: Toy hovercraft driven (gently) on head (age 41 days)

More to come...

#2: Flown around like she was a jet plane (age 4 weeks)
#3: Pretended she was a highway so trucks could be drive on her (5 weeks)
