Bad Dad

So my grand plans for blogging baby on a consistent basis have obviously not worked out--I'm not sure where all my free time went, but there seems to be precious little of it, and certainly not enough to put together long, thoughtful blog entries.

I tend be a pretty terrible correspondent; I put off writing personal email and letters "until I have time to write a really good one." My friends tend to remind me that they'd rather get quick notes than not hear from me at all for six months at a stretch. This tendancy seems to carry over to blogging pretty easily. So, in the interest of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, here's a quick update:

Alexander's growing and thriving, although he's in a new fussy phase that is challenging. Most likely this fussy phase will pass, and be replaced with another new fussy phase.

~~Julia~~ (ahem) Dr. Kaufman successfully defended her dissertation. Well. Very well. If it sounds like I'm bragging, it's 'cause I am.

Spring has come to Western PA! I hardly noticed the weather the past few weeks--winter just seemed to disappear. Guess I was distracted.

The beautiful and talented Dr. Kaufman offers a much better summary of the past few weeks on her web site. Check it out.

For all his fans and admirers, I've added a bunch of pics of Alexander to our photo gallery: photos.sixteenredheadedbabies.com.

The doctors signed off on Julia and Alexander yesterday, so I was able to bring them both home. They're both doing well, although Jul seems incapable of following the doctor's instructions and simply relaxing--I may have to tie her to the couch.
