Dilbert isn't funny sometimes. Sometimes it's a little too close to my company.

My boss is pretty good, and the co-workers are great, but management seems to try extra hard to kill the atmosphere.

was this thing supposed to come with an altimeter?

Peter turned 6 (weeks) a couple days ago. He is getting bigger and smiles a lot. At a visit with the in-laws over the weekend, we discovered a couple of things.

1) Peter discovered that he can coo. He doesn't do it often yet, but he seems to be pretty happy when he's doing it.

2) Either Tera or her dad noticed that the model baby we got came with an altimeter. Sometimes the act of standing alone is enough to stop him from crying. I understand that sitting might disturb a baby because of accidental movements, but quieting because of the act of standing, even before walking? very bizarre.

so pretty

on my way to work there were little tiny snow flakes. Perfectly shaped but about an 8th of an inch. You couldn't see them at home until they blew across the blazer. There was a blue sky, they must have been squeezed out of the air by the bitter cold.

When I got to work you still couldn't see them in the sky, but when the sun was in the right position it looked like the sky was full of glitter. what a beautiful way to start the day.

4 ah ah ah

My little man hit 4 weeks today. What a cutie.

Three weeks!!!!!

So, Peter hit three weeks old yesterday! The last three weeks have been a blur of working from home, into the office part days, holidays and a sick day. It was also my first full day in the office. All day with no Peter and no Tera. It was tough. Not getting a nap didn't help either :)

Peter is getting better at sleeping for long stretches, but not so much at night. He's in his swing now. At first he didn't seem to like it, but he's good with it now. I'll release him when I'm done here, because I'd rather he sleeps at night.

Peter is recovering from is cold. Mostly a stuffy nose, post nasal drip cold. He seems to handle it better than I did (he caught it from me). We put him in the bathroom when taking a shower and use baby saline drops and he stays pretty clear.

Gotta run
