Kavanna's First Chanukah

Or is it Hannukah?  Or Hanukah?  (no wonder there's no peace in the Middle East - we can't even agree on how to spell this holiday).

Kavanna enjoyed her first present-giving holiday.  She loves having her Grandma (David's mom) here to visit.

How has having a baby changed our lives?

I have little time for luxuries such as updating our blog :)  (Kavanna's taking a nap as I write)

I forget what it's like to maintain eye contact during a conversation, as I'm now always distracted and keeping an eye on Kavanna

Going to the movies is a thing of the past

And...

We are filled with so much love for this adorable little person

We are happier than we've ever been

We're learning more about ourselves and each other through the experience of parenting a baby

We don't need as much sleep as we thought we did 

What's Kavanna doing that's amazing (this week):

When she's hungry she points to her mouth repeatedly as if to say, "Food.  In here.  Now."

She slept through the night.  Twice.

She's running around really fast on those chubby little legs

She now has seven teeth, and more coming

She has the ability to make us smile and laugh with just one look
