Getting Her Voice

Dahlia has been more & more vocal lately and it's awesome. Every now and then we can actually hear her voice...very cool. She makes more coos, goos, gurgles and "laughs" - sort of, we think. Right now she's just chilling out in her chair, with her bunny & taggy blanket making all sorts of cool sounds. It is an awesome thing to witness. We talk to her every day - in our language and hers to encourage her to make noises and explore that type of expression. You can actually hold a "conversation" with her if you mimic her noises. I can't wait til she starts babbling more & then come the words. I have a feeling this one's going to be a lot like her mama - talk, talk, talk, talk talk....poor Steve....

Talk, talk, talk. Cry, cry, cry. Oh, poor Steve. He's really in for it now! It will be wonderful to hear her talk! What a treat.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
