Newborn vs. 4.5 Months

Then and Now
After visiting Andrew, Scott, and Lynn in the hospital, I reflected on the delivery of one, Laura Lynn. I thought it would be fun to look back at her facial changes from Day 1 to Day 142. I know I have stated this numerous times, but I don't remember Laura ever looking like the image on the left. Time really did fly by. Should be fun to compare her looks from these pictures to 3, 5, 10 years from now.

The Dads
Laura behaved pretty well during the hospital visit. She talked quite a bit for everyone in the room. Secretly, I think she was trying to divert attention back to herself. Probably not. In fact, the past couple of days Laura has been super chatty.
I have been having so much fun with Laura the past 3-4 weeks. Yes, our relationship got off to a rocky start, I can't explain why she didn't want me holding her other than she looked at us and thought Mom=Nummies, Dad=You don't have anything I want? But now, it is a different ball game. She looks at me and sees Dad=Eat my tummy and make me laugh. And I like that role.

"Oh my!"
Laura's expression illustrates our thoughts on the Twins season. What happened pitching staff? Make a decent acquisition front office! You have been a complete disappointment, except Mauer (aka Baby Jesus).

Or this photo can represent the first viewing of Purple #4 at QB for the Vikings. He sure didn't look right wearing purple during yesterdays preseason game.

The Twins shirt photo is too funny... she looks just as puzzled as we are, for sure! This is my new screen saver -
