Going Bananas

Hi there. I feel like it’s been a long, long time since I wrote one of these entries on the train ride home. At the same time, Christmas in California seems almost equally far away.

We’re all slowly getting back into the swing of things here. Emmie’s had a tough time of it - it’s hard to say if it’s just jet lag or something more (like upper teeth coming in), but she’s simply refusing to sleep for more than an hour or two at a time.

The big bummer for me is that Emelyn’s been eating solid foods the whole week, and I have yet to witness it. (Well, I fed her her first spoons of rice cereal in LA, but that doesn’t count.) Emelyn’s moved on to super-mashed-up bananas now, and even if I haven’t personally witnessed her eating them, I can at least attest that her diapers have suddenly taken on a zesty tropical ambience which I can only describe as ‘unwelcome’.
