Nora

So I went down to Colleen and Ian's yesterday and came back today. In the middle of that I met my brand new niece, Nora, and she is absolutely frikking adorable. I held her for a while, several times, most of which she slept through, and it was all just awesome. I could do that all day, I tell you.

She actually sleeps a lot, even for a baby. Most of the time we had to wake her up (or try to) so she could eat, and then it was back to sleep for her. She was awake for a good while this morning, and was alert and very well-behaved. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of fuss in her, at least not yet. The crying that there was didn't last all too long.

I really enjoyed myself.

This afternoon Colleen was busy upstairs for a while and Ian was grocery shopping, so grandma and I watched Nora for a few hours. During that I even floated the hypothetical bubble out there, saying "I should get myself one of these." And my mom agreed that yeah I should. So there's that. Now I just have to find a potential mother who isn't a complete sociopath, which isn't as easy as it sounds, sadly.

Anyway, this weekend was time very well spent.
