Gonna getcha
Gramme arrived Tuesday—nine months and thee days after Ea’s birthday. Let’s see, the laundry-list of developments include sitting tight with six teeth, no crawling, (though every day it seems possible) & her first signing of milk on January 1.
We’ve been attending a weekly swim class with our friends Stacy & Sampson, going for weekly hikes with Alan and Eva, and a diet consisting of breastmilk and a lot of peas & blueberries.
Sleep, Eat & Poop—ZZZ…
You always hear that babies do little else than sleep, eat and poop–but what isn’t said is that they manage to do all of these, in unbearably captivating ways. So the next three posts are going to try and showcase the classic infant trifecta.
Ea is just over a week old. She eats about every two hours, evacuates as frequently, and sleeps about 80% of the time in between those activities. Science suggests the time spent with lidded eyes is due to this stage of her development, which is primarily focused on growing her brain.
So let’s look at sleep.
Ea Rhaeny Hunt
We’ve settled on:
Ea Rhaeny Hunt
(EE-ya Reigh-nee)
Both names are Celtic. Ea means “fire” and Rhaeny we take to mean “Small and Mighty”.
Mother and Daughter (and by proxy Dad) were discharged from the hospital this early afternoon. We came home about 3p and now mom is trying to get some sleep. Hope you enjoy day two/three photos below.
Thank you so much for all the outpouring of love and support. Ea Rhaeny is happy, healthy and well loved.
