Music and Milk

Luella's music appreciation lessons have officially begun! While we play recorded music for her all the time (her favorite musician is currently Ben Sollee, and we're working on getting posters for the walls of her bassinet) today Allen finally picked up the mandolin for the first time since she joined the outside world. She LOVED it! She sat there, eyes open and totally alert, listening until he finally had to put the mando away and head to work.




Also, she's still eating and sleeping well. In fact, she usually eats so well that nursing sends her into a stupor. She's been making us laugh by pulling away from the breast and falling back onto the pillow to pass out, limbs akimbo. I think she's a bit melodramatic, but the effect is impressive. Note the growing double chin - we hope to have a chubby baby on our hands very soon!
