This is Isolde's official hospital picture.
It was taken when she was two days old, just a few hours before we left the hospital.
You can't tell it here, but she had been crying up a storm right before the picture was taken.
My guess is that she just didn't like the fancy dress and hat.

Her first Father's Day.
Yes, that's me holding her. I have no wedding ring
because I still couldn't fit it on at that point.

Exactly four weeks old.
She often makes her cutest faces on the changing table, and I just had to take a picture.
Do you see the rolls of fat on her thighs?
I love those.

Her favorite napping spot -- her bouncinette.
(It's a bassinette; it's a bouncer; it's a bouncinette!).
Stupid name, good product. She loves it.
