Flavia's baby book (1999)

While making my New Year's cards (a sample of which in the picture), I came across a 1999 calendar which I'd saved for wrapping presents and other creative activities. (It was a Millennium calendar given to me by Sarah with an H's mom and had lots of cool pictures.) I had recorded all the details of Flavia's first months on it:

15 March 1999 – abrió los ojos (opened her eyes)

18 March 1999 – Calpurnia/Luna nuestra (Calpurnia/Luna is ours - These were the two names we originally considered. I really wanted Calpurnia, a name I've loved since I saw To Kill a Mockingbird, but Pedro wasn't having any of it.)

29 March – 24 cm.

6 April – 27 cm.

18 April – 29 cm.

1 May – 34 cm.

19 June – 40 cm.

I've just sort of measured her (a little difficult when she's sleeping curled up in her bed). She's still about 15 inches.
