Just trying to be a Good Mom, sometimes succeeding, sometimes not. But blogging about it anyway.

We have been home since Sunday afternoon. Things are going well. I think we all are getting used to things:
Baby (we are still working on her blog name)
She rarely cries, but definitely knows how to do it when the time is right. She stares intently and loves to be held. [...]

Chuck Norris Facts. Did you know that Chuck Norris once roundhouse-kicked a ten dollar bill into 200 nickels and that when Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor? Never slap Chuck Norris.
