Huh? It's almost December? What?

Hi, yeah, Liesl's four months old today. Wow, time flies.

She puts herself to sleep now. Very nice. She plays with her hands and squeals and blows bubbles. She is very fun.

So, this is how flustered I've been since she's been born: I asked her pediatrician about the rash all over her body. She says she's sensitive to the laundry detergents. I've been using Dreft for fabric softener, which should by safe for babies. Well, it turns out, the Dreft I have is not fabric softener, but detergent. So I've been soaking Liesl's clothes in soap, which would explain the rash.

Holly, thanks for the bracelets. You are a doll. I look forward to a Christmas card from you. I hope to do my own, as well. I doubt I have everyone's address. Go ahead and send me your addresses to jelyfisher@gmail.com. Please. Also, Holly, in that survey you sent me, I didn't laugh when I read about you finding your grandma in the nude. That is upsetting, though I can see the humor too. Dimensia must be very hard to live with.

Well, I love you all. I only check my email about once a week now, I'm so . .. everywhere else.
