#1 Dad

While we were in the hospital pretty much every nurse that came in would make a comment about how baby girls always end up with their Daddies wrapped around their little fingers.  Jeremy would usually say something along the lines of how that wasn't going to happen with Phoebe - but I'm not so sure.  Both in the hospital, and since we got home, Jeremy has been great with Phoebe.  He spends a lot of time snuggling her, talking to her, and figuring out what she wants.  He also volunteers for most of the thankless jobs.  I think Phoebe was almost three days old before I changed my first diaper :)  Jeremy also takes on cranky Phoebe much of the time when she doesn't need to eat so that I can get some rest.  He figured out that the bathroom fan will calm her down when nothing else does, so he spends at least an hour each day walking back and forth in front of the bathroom with a fussy baby.  Jeremy has to start back to school tomorrow and we'll definitely miss having him around during the day!  This afternoon we did a bit of a practice run where Jeremy took a long nap and then went and ran errands while I did solo Phoebe-duty.  It went pretty well, but I think we were both pretty happy to see Dad when he got home. 

Here is a picture of Phoebe and Dad hanging out in the La-Z-Boy watching hockey:

And here are Dad, Phoebe and Danger enjoying naptime all snuggled up

Don't let Danger's sad expression fool you - he'd be sleeping in that exact same spot even if there was no baby :)  So far he is the kitty that has been the most interested in Phoebe and he follows her around during the day.

One more picture because everyone likes a picture of a cute baby!  Today was Phoebe's first Sunday of football with Daddy.  She doesn't quite understand the rules yet though, because she kept signaling touchdowns:

We'll try to update as often as we can with pictures.  The first couple of days were a little rough as we tried to figure out this whole "baby in our house" situation :)  Tomorrow is Phoebe's first doctor's appointment, so we'll be taking our first trip out with the baby.  Wish us luck.
