It’s funny how in a publicly traded company, time is measured in a quarter… and depending on how things go, that quarter can whiz by in a blink, or take forever to finish.

I think our “quarter” is a bit of both- it’s gone by very quickly, but at the same time, it’s been jammed with a lot of events.  I’m sure some days go by pretty slowly for E, and the weekends are always a blur for me.

So how has e changed?  In the beginning, most things were pretty instinctual- eat, sleep, diaper change, look at stuff, etc.  About 5 weeks ago, she started making a fist and staring at it like it was a Monet.  Shortly thereafter, she started to visually track things- especially faces… even from a distance.  I’m sure her vision is now better than Mom or Dad (without their glasses).  You can tell that she studies things like the ceiling, features of different rooms, and especially the Poppy painting we have on our mantle.  She definitely recognizes her room, and that bouncy seat thing. 

She’s also been smiling for at least 6 weeks,and about 3 weeks ago, started babbling.  I think these two features have been the coolest, and makes baby even more interactive.

So it’s been a good first quarter… and I based on that, I think we can give even more positive guidance to the street for Q2.  🙂
