Accomplishments

We got a lot accomplished today. Before Milo was born, I asked all of the kids to participate in a guessing game wherein they tried to predict: sex, birthday, length, and weight of the baby. Then we awarded prizes to the person who was closest in each category. Today we finally got around to mailing out the prizes. There were three winners in the sex category; the winner for birthday was John, who guessed Aug. 11 - only 3 days off. The winner in the length category was Allie, who guessed 21 inches, when Milo was actually 21.6. And the winner of the weight category was Maddie, who guessed 8lbs 12oz - I thought she was NUTS for guessing this weight, but Milo was a healthy 8lbs 10oz. So Maddie was not far off at all!

Chase and I then went out to East Bay for a burger and a quick stop at a park near Lake Merritt. Then we drove out to Treasure Island for their Flea Market. I think this market happens pretty often, and Chase and I have been meaning to get out there for the past 3 years. We finally went today, and it was pretty nice to just walk around and look at stuff. We also bought some dessert.

Throughout the day, Milo was GREAT! She likes being out - I think it provides some much needed stimulation for her. She only fussed when we got caught in traffic on our way to Treasure Island, but she was easily soothed by sucking on my finger (she still won’t take a pacifier). She slept through the whole flea market experience; I fed her several times while we were out; and then we came home and she was alert and active.

Today was a good day.
