Two Weeks In Hailey.... GO!
Day one at the office was good. I did a lot of visiting and some working. When I got home, it was just in time to put Izzie to sleep for her late afternoon nap. I do enjoy this part of fatherhood.
The next day was no different.
Later that evening, Izzie was a very happy camper when it was feeding time. Here she is anticipating the boob.
Day three mom and Izzie had time to go out and explore the town a little more. They didn't find much. Turns out Hailey doesn't have much. After talking to some of the guys in the office, I learned that all of the action is in Ketchum and Sun Valley (just mere minutes away...joy). That night we noticed that Izzie was wanting to sit up a lot more because she wasn't happy laying in our arms. So we propped her up on the couch and SHE LOVED IT! It is so exciting to see how her body matures and how her mind becomes more and more alert. She's becoming quite the little wiggler.
Then her head fell over. When it did, she noticed a picture on the wall. It was actually an old poster for the fair, but she didn't know that. All she knew was that it was going to eat her. She did the best thing she knew how; she went catatonic and just stared at it for about three minutes. She didn't even blink.
So I got up and went over there, and as soon as I walked into her view she snapped out of it. I'm sure she felt relieved to know that she was still alive, but by the look on her face, she may be scared for the rest of her life.
Poor baby. Then she sneezed. I got a picture of it only because it's really easy to anticipate her sneezes. Her nose wrinkles up and she her mouth goes open for about 1 second.
Then I reached in to tickler her and give her a "did you sneeze? Did you sneeze?" in the big goofy voice that only a baby can solicit from a grown adult man. She thought that was great and rewarded my goofiness with a big smile and a "you got me" reaction.
The next couple of days weren't anything too exciting. Life just continued as normal.
