Mia, Month 4
We made it! This little one is a true bundle of joy. So happy, sleeps well (8ish hours, wake to eat, and then another couple), eats well. We really lucked out. This month she began to love dancing and being swung about, laughs constantly, really figured out her hands, graduated to a crib, and is exceeding expectations on all the milestone stuff. We spent…

I’ve completed 7 of the 53 lecture hours, reviewing HTML and mostly learning CSS for the first time (the age of CSS is when I stopped “doing” code-based web-dev – I’ve always been capable of hacking it, but now I get it). I’m trying…
