One week oldLisa Lynne was born at 11:02AM in 1971. She weighed 7.5 pounds and was 19 inches long. Her head measured 13.5 inches.
She was a "good" baby. She was three months old when we moved to Pittsburgh. For the first time in her short life she had a room to herself. She went to sleep at 7:00 PM on the day of the move and woke up at 10:00AM. When I woke up the next morning, I flew into the nursery to see if she was still breathing. As the morning wore on, I consider waking her because nursing was way overdue. From that night on she always slept not only through the night but into mid-morning.
As I re-read her baby book this evening, one word appeared over and over again. That word? Captivating. Whether it was an easy mark like her Aunt Diane or a stranger passing on the street, Lisa captivated them. She exuded happiness and embraced the world.
I remember her babyhood as one of joy. And now, I am experiencing the joy of having an adult daughter who is also a friend.
Happy Birthday...for the third time today!
One year old
