Wireless Triggers!

So I broke down & bought myself some "poverty wizards." For those of you scratching your heads, it allows me to take a photo & use my flash off the camera. I tried to use a cord, but it was very unreliable. So I was practicing with the new ones & they seem to be pretty good. I just wish
I would have gotten a second one for my other flash! I can't wait to put these to the test in NJ next week. I've got some fruit to shoot & it should be fun!

Hand Jive

She has now learned to grab at the toys in her bouncy seat. They hang above her, and a few weeks ago, she figured out how to kick them with her feet. Last night, she grabbed them with her hands for a few seconds. It was pretty cool, sitting there watching her learn!

The giggles are getting closer yet. Sometimes she just looks at me and lets out a really loud giggle. Those are the best!

Update!

Ok, so it's been a while since I've posted & the hubby keeps harassing me about having a blog that I never update.

Baby girl is 23.5 inches long now & weighs 11lbs, 13oz as of this morning. The hubby & Em came to visit me & have lunch at work today! Actually they just left. :'(
I'm at work now, finishing off my 2nd week back. It's good to be back into society, but it's really hard to be away from her all day. It's like I get a reward every day when I get to come home & see her.

She can hold up her head really well. She also likes to sit in the bouncer & kick the toys. She has increasing amounts of happy time during the day, instead of just eating & sleeping. At about 4 weeks, she began cooing & really smiling. That was awesome! I thought she was going to be much older when she started that. She's so close to giggling, I can't wait for the first real one. It's gonna be awesome. We bought her Christmas outfit last week. There weren't many things in the stores, but I found a really great sweater dress at Baby Gap. I thought it was going to take so much longer to find something that I really like. I mean, this is her first Christmas! This is important stuff! There are little tights that match it perfectly. They have little Mary Janes on them so it looks like she's wearing shoes!

Nothing much else to say, except that my daughter is AWESOME!
