Everyone always comments on Ellie’s eyes…how clear, how attentive they are, how pretty. She’s always had great eyes, even from birth. She wasn’t out in the world 5 seconds before she popped her eyes open and was looking around. Heck, we’ve even got a 3D Ultrasound of her with her eyes open In Utero.
We’ll see about the color, though…both Betsy and I have greenish eyes, while Ellie is still deep blue. She’s still got time for them to change, though.
We gave Eliza avocado for the first time yesterday. She was skeptical but ate quite a bit, despite the look of confusion on her face. We’ll try again today.
In other news, we’re having some tough sleep issues. The little monkey has learned to roll over onto her belly, which means the swaddle is no longer effective or safe. Yet it is hard for her to settle down without being swaddled. She is also rolling onto her tummy and waking herself up in the middle of the night. She doesn’t know how to roll onto her back yet, so she either screams for one of us to help or sometimes will eventually settle down and stay on her belly to sleep. Not the safest thing in the world, we realize. So…”sleeping through the night” is a distant memory. But hopefully we’ll get there again.
I’m very, very excited to announce the next step in the continuing attempt to take over the world illustrate modern communication methodologies and community building for the larger LITA and ALA types:
This is a place for members and potential members and interested parties of the LITA Interest Group BIGWIG to gather, talk, and most importantly: do stuff. The site is open…anyone can create an account and participate in the site, add content, etc. It gives us a place to meet virtually, and a place where I hope good ideas are filtered and implemented. Consider it a BIGWIG-driven playground.
The site is Drupal based, and will be chock-full of open source goodness over time. We’ll also continue to experiment with Web 2.0 tools and hope that people use the site to do so.
So: Join us virtually, and then decide if you want to join us at conferences and such. Either way, we’re happy to have you participate in our playing. Come join us!
