Dear Daddy...
No... it's not the roo-meister... it's Marley. Remember me? Your first born. In my opinion, the easiest one in the house to live with... I'm not saying I told you so, but I told you so! Life was much easier... and happier... when it was just you and me. Now... I've come up with a plan to do away with the kid. You just say the word...
We'll have to discuss how to get rid of the crazy brown dog and the old lady.
Love ya'
Marley

Speed Bink
This post is for Pap who is amazed by how fast Roo can suck on her binky. Pap has lovingly titled this activity - one of her only forms of activity - "speed bink."
Today Roo discovered her reflection in the mirror above her papasan chair. Its unbelievable how much she grows - physically and mentally - every day. Although I miss my work, especially my collegues, I'm grateful for this time with her... so much so, that I'm going to stop blogging and go hug and kiss her!

Rylee's First Bath... ARGH!
Rylee Roo got her first big girl bath. It was very distressing! %20
The World's First Infant Insomniac
So this is an apology... I'd like to apologize for all the missed phone calls, late "thank yous" and unmet commitments. It seems that Chris and I were flat out lied to by all the parenting handbooks and primers. They all say that babies eat, sleep and poop, but it seems our child doesn't sleep... at all! It's not that she simply has her days and nights mixed up -- she just doesn't sleep! Luckily for her, she's absolutely adorable. So she flashes us those baby blues and we forgive her sleeplessness.
Even though she looks EXACTLY like her Dad, it seems she did get something from her Mom -- my insomnia! Let's hope it passes before Mommy has to go back to work!!
Chris and I promise to return the phone calls and write those thank you notes -- just as soon as our sleepless bodies adjust to this new lifestyle. We appreciate all of your support and are grateful for all the wonderful cards, flowers and gifts. We cherish each and every voicemail, text message and facebook thread. Thank you!!!

Welcome to the World, Rylee-roo!
Chris and I are soooooo proud to introduce the world to Rylee Campbell Gerber. Rylee (a.ka. "Roo") was born on a very snowy February 3, 2009 (just two short days after the Steelers Superbowl win) at 9:45 AM. She weighed a healthy 6 lbs 7 oz and measured 19.5 inches long!
Roo and Mommy came home from the hospital Friday evening and are doing great. Daddy is our hero. As we speak, Mommy is sitting on the couch with her feet up, Roo is sleeping comfortably in her pack and play, and Daddy is vacuuming. We love him very much!!!!
Last night was our first night at home. The dogs surprised us with their ambivalence. Neither care that Rylee has invaded their home. They both sniffed her once and went on with their lives. Their reactions have left us pleasantly surprised.
We are also pleasantly surprised that Roo is eating and sleeping like a champ. Mommy, Daddy, Baby and Brothers got a ton of sleep last night (she only woke up for one middle of the night feeding).
Thank you to all our well wishers! We've gotten a ton of visitors, phone calls, text messages, cards and flowers. We promise to return all those phone calls when things settle down and Mommy is up and moving around a little more. Hugs to all!!!
