since our last afton update, our bubbly baby has been not once, not twice, but a miraculous *thrice* healed.first, our discerning viewers may have noticed that afton's porcelain face has been marred by severe skin irritation for most of her babyhood.
well, i finally gave in to the West and got her some medication. though sensitive and oft aggravated skin is likely something that dearest afton will have to endure most of her life (a genetic gift courtesy of yours truly), this round cleared up within a few days.
second, afton is officially an eater. one day, she woke up and just decided to eat solids. she now regularly polishes off entire jars of baby food (carrots are her favorite; see photo).
finally (and possibly most importantly), she is also a sleeper. nearly as soon as i posted that she was not sleeping through the night (*my* night, at least), she started staying in dreamland for ten or eleven hour stretches.
yes, victory is in sight.

oh that is all such good news. i love the name afton btw. (and names are on my mind since i just went through the most stressful naming process ever. joey won't let me have any more kids until i have their names picked out before conception.)
anyway, just wanted you to know that your comments are my favorite. i just laughed so hard and the ping pong thing. and yesterday at the redonkulous thing. oh, you are a gem. thanks for the good advice. i miss you guys.
