Harper’s first words and other nuggets
“Da da! [dadadadadadada]” — perhaps even “Hi Dada”? — first spoken Friday.
Definitely language, not babble. She looks right at me, smiles, and says “Dada!”. 
First 2 teeth (bottom) came in 12/25 and 12/26.
She also slept 10 hours unassisted last night (with just a few brief crying wake-ups).
The end of our constant sleep deprivation may be in sight.
Abi played with finger-paint for the first time this weekend too and has to do everything herself.
Learning slide guitar.
Banging on OWL at work.
Reading Tom Waits’ biography and City at the End of Time.
Listening to Beirut, The National, Waits, The Low Anthem
Needing more fresh air, more time for making music, more time with friends, more exercise, more sleep. Grateful as hell for this little family of mine.
Good night.
