Betsy got to go to her first hockey game tonight--Richmond Renegades versus the Knoxville Ice Bears. She even got to spend it in high style up in the Afton box thanks to Dad's work. None too impressed by the game, she slept through the entire match (even when they fired the cannon to mark the goals).
Betsy had her second doctor's appointment today and she was very well behaved until the nurse gave her her first shot! Ouch! Little Miss B is also getting chunky; she now weighs 9lbs, 4oz and is 20 inches long. We hope you enjoy a little "live" Betsy.
Popeye (and Grr) finally got to meet Betsy! We had a really nice visit with him and his friend, Ivy. If you check out Betsy's flickr there are many more pictures from our visit.
As much as the strange babbling brook and bird sounds that come out of this thing may sound to me, they are apparently a very powerful baby sedative. All hail Graco!
At the grandparents' request, I've opened this blog for them to watch her grow and change daily. I've got the photos available from her birth to today, so I'll be backlogging those as I have the time.
The Myton family: Oma, Nate, Mom, Betsy, Dad, and Opa.
The wonderful ladies (and Melvin) at PSI decided to host a "Grandma Shower" for Nonna. Mom drove Betsy and Oma down to Hampton for the event. Everyone was so gracious and the gifts were overly generous, but Mom has a sneaking suspicion that those ladies like the color pink! ;)
Afterwards, she and Opa enjoyed a well deserved nap!
Looking a bit like an alien, Betsy is practicing holding her head up and using her arms. She's surprisingly strong and often holds her head up without assistance.
Today Dad had to go back to work. He missed out on some very cuddly baby and puppy action, but we made sure to email him pictures so he wouldn't miss us too much.
Today is Betsy's actual due date and the first day of 2007. Mom and Betsy slept through the ball drop, but Dad assured us it wasn't any different than previous years.
PaPa Bob and Nonna stopped by today and Betsy really had fun visiting with him. There are some more, really great pictures with Nonna over on Flickr.
Then, Betsy got a bath from Mom and Dad in the bathroom sink. It really is one of her favorite activities and Mom and Dad are so grateful!
Mom and Dad caught someone sucking her thumb tonight! Looks like she may have spent too much time with Uncle Dan!
This is Dad's version of playing "with" Betsy. All she needs is a mini headset to hook up to Ventrillo.
Betsy à la Garden Gnome.

Betsy just found out the Oma, Opa, and Nate are leaving today and she's not sure how she feels about that!

Betsy snuggles Dad after work. It's only a matter of time before they're both sleeping like babies!
