Our friend Nancy (who knows a thing or two about children) told us about how some cultures (I believe they are east Asian) call the first few months of a baby's life "The 100 Days of Crying." Apparently, the baby isn't quite ready to be a real human and therefore cries a lot during the first 100 days.
And sometimes, even "a lot" of crying is a major understatement.
Well, today Catherine is 100 days old. And the crying has all but vanished.
She actually stopped the mindless fussiness about a week ago. This coincided with other exciting things - use of the hands, gratuitous smiling, even some giggling.
Yep, this is going to be fun.
And incidentally, Nancy also believes she sees a lot of Jenny in these most recent pictures. Which I think is great, because Jenny is a whole better looking than I am.

Yay, CC!!! Congratulations on making it through the 100 days. Everyone should get some kind of medal or scout badge for getting through a newborn, I swear to god.
And now the fun begins!! I swear, a five month old is by far the best thing in the whole world. Even better than bacon.
Wow, that friend of yours must be really smart (or really dumb to have two kids so close together).
