Hola Robobebe!

Robobebe, aka Ida Rocket, is finally here and guess what? We like her!



She is tiny tiny tiny - only 6lbs, 2oz at birth, and smaller now (which is normal). But she's eating like a champ and we hope that someday soon she will fit into the ten million cute outfits we've been amassing over the past 10 months. For now, even the newborn clothes we bought don't fit, so she wears a lot of blankets. It is worth noting that she is a TALL baby - 20 inches, most of which are in her super long froggie legs:



We are absolutely amazed by her, and spend hours staring at her and laughing at all of her funny faces. Beyond that, there's not much to life with a newborn - she eats, she sleeps, she poops, and every few hours she opens her eyes and looks around before falling back asleep. It is remarkably entertaining, but not so bloggable. There's probably a lot we could say about the labor (hard), breastfeeding (harder), and getting a 4 day old baby to pose on a calendar (hardest). But we'll just leave it at this for now: we're glad you made it Ida Rocket!
