“This?” says Evie.
“Wolf.”
“This,” she says again, pointing at the page.
“Wolf,” I sigh.
“This!”
“Wolf!”
“This?”
“Belle. She’s being attacked by those three wolves. She’s also the little trollop scamming on the Beast.”
“Un-huh.”
Beth chortles, verbally exhibiting her unacceptance of my artistic license.
“Well, that’s what you get for telling her I have boobies,” I retort.

“Dolphins!”
“No honey, squid. Do you want to watch the squid with Daddy?”
“Un-huh.”
A squid squishes by the television, a long arrow of sea blue flesh.
“Dolphin!”
“Squid, honey. That’s called a squid. Can you say squid?”
“Un-huh.”
More squid slosh by again, frenzy for food. Suddenly tentacles with spikes slam into the camera, suckers seemingly plastered onto the TV.
“Octopus!”
Sigh. “Yes honey, octopus.”

Here’s a video (captured from our picture camera, so the quality is less than average) of Evie eating food for the first time.

So the last few weeks have been very hectic. Obviously getting used to Evie and finding that groove has taken a bit of energy, then tying that to the upcoming trade show for my company I guess I’m not that surprised the past month has flown by.
Evie turned one month just yesterday (Friday). She’s very much aware of her surroundings now, although not quite at the interactive state yet (unless crying and pooping and eating can be considered interactive). Every night after work she greets me by crying for a couple hours. I tried crying back at her and I think she got confused because she started to soothe me…
Got our taxes done; came out even this year so we must be doing something right. This weekend is a tad busy with my work’s web site content refresh going on Sunday night. We didn’t have a lot to do this year unlike past years, but working a Sunday night is still working a Sunday night 
. Right now I’m uploading a bunch more photos we’ve had queued up; feel free to check them out in the “Evie” photo blog.
That’s about all for now. If you’re in to video editing, check out avid.com tomorrow night when we make our NAB announcements

It was a long time coming, but the end result was worth it. Beth’s water broke early Sunday morning, but her contractions didn’t begin until around 2pm. It took us all the way to around 10pm on Monday before the doctors felt that Beth could start pushing. Not everything was right, though, and after an hour and a half later Beth was rushed into the operating room for an emergency cesarean section. Those 30 minutes were longer to me than the previous day and a half…standing outside the operating room dressed in scrubs and waiting to be told that I could enter. But I finally got to sit by Beth, and together we heard a sudden baby’s cry, and at last knew that Evelyn Rose was with us in this world.
