I always feel like blogging after I finish reading Trisha’s blog, but that doesn’t mean I do as good of a job of it. I also don’t change Ingrid’s blog design on a weekly basis either. Sorry!

In the three weeks since Ingrid’s birth, we’ve taken a lot of pictures of her, along with a few videos. Picasa, with its magical face-recognition voodoo, claims I have 42 pictures of Ingrid. I won’t post them all here for you, but here’s a few favorites.

We gave Ingrid her first “real” bath, and as new parents we were very careful not to boil her alive. Our fancy baby-sponge mat (thanks Beth!) has a little sticker on it that’s supposed to change color at 104 degrees so you don’t hurt your kid. A little science experiment reveals that ours changes color at about 97, so we’re more in danger of freezing Ingy to death than boiling her.

As our first, Ingrid will likely have far too many pictures taken of her. We’re documenting her growth versus the size of a rather large bear. (That’s week 2 on the left, week 3 on the right)

And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention our cats are a little jealous. The only attention they get now is when I shoot at them with my double-barreled dart shotgun, or when they’re being funny.

Seeing as babies don’t do much, that about sums it up. Here’s a video for you to enjoy, and you can also follow along at home with periodic video uploads to our YouTube channel.

As an FYI, we’ve got ourself an HD webcam and are currently duking it out between Skype, Logitech Vid HD, Google Chat, and Live Messenger to figure out which one works best. If you want to meet Ingrid, give us a holler!
