Sorry for the lack of updates. Just been very busy taking care of Lil Bit. Click on the photo above for some recent pictures of Sophia. I’ll try to update more in the coming weeks.

Anheuser-Busch Cos Inc (NYSE:BUD) has agreed to be acquired by rival InBev NV for $49.91 billion in a deal that will create the world’s largest brewer.

Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’m sure you all understand. Sophia’s 25 days old, and she’s running the show. She develops a pattern, then she breaks it. As any baby can be, she’s completely unpredictable. Being a new dad, I’m adjusting to all of this as best I can. I’m used to routines and schedules. There really is no such thing as a routine with a baby. I knew all this going in, having read the books and hearing the stories from people who’ve “been there, done that”. However, it’s easier knowing it than actually doing it.

Per the doctor’s office, we switched formulas last Saturday to help ease Sophia’s tummy aches. She’s doing much better, not needing to burp as much, but she has been spitting up more. Not that it all comes back up; it just stinks and it’s messy. For Christine, every day is “pajama day”. That makes a lot of sense as I have changed shirts multiple times this week.

She has somewhat improved in the “sleeping at night” department. The trick is getting her to finish a bottle in a timely manner. Doesn’t always happen. And when she falls asleep in your arms after feeding, she usually wakes up after you put her in bed. We’re still trying to figure this out, but we’ll get there (at least, I hope we do).

I’ve uploaded a batch of photos to Sophia’s Flickr set. Click on the photo above, or just go to my Flickr page.

Sophia’s got the hiccups

Game 6 - Lakers 92, Celtics 131

Boston’s 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher; the Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5 of the 1965 NBA Finals.

Congrats to Boston and the Big Three. I was never a real fan of Pierce, but he stepped up when the team needed him. I’m also happy to see KG and UConn Husky Ray Allen finally win a title.

My baby’s two weeks old today

Sophia is doing well. She had her first doctor visit yesterday afternoon. Her official weight is 8 lbs, 2 oz (although her mother and I don’t agree with it since her follow-up at the hospital 2 days prior weighed her at 7 lbs, 9 oz). She eats roughly every 2 to 3 hours (I now refer to it as “feeding-on-demand”). Sophia does not like it when we lay her down on the changing table to change her diaper, change her clothes, or put lotion on; it seems baby doesn’t like to be naked, and she lets everyone know it. Christine gets up with her roughly 2 to 3 times each night; some nights are better than others. I initially started out staying up with her, but after this week’s work in the yard with my folks, I’ve been dog-tired. Christine tries to get her naps when she can. All in all, mom and baby are doing fine.
