That's what the pediatrician said when she had her first appointment today. And I'm SURE that he wasn't rolling his eye's when he said it. He must see a dozen parents a day that are sure that their kid is Einstein because he smiles when he burps (not that Petra does, she smiles when she hiccups). Just because ours really IS doesn't mean he shouldn't say it.

Petra's first day out was done very well. She fussed for only a few seconds when popped into her Maxi-Cosi carseat, but then was immediately quiet for the rest of the trip to Kaiser and back. Very interested in everyone and everything that she saw though. She was checked by the pediatrician, Alison's feeding technique was critiqued by the lactation consultant (the same woman who did the childcare classes we hated, but she is much more tolerable in this setting), and Alison and I both got flu shots to protect Petra from the impending global pandemic.

Maybe tomorrow we'll take her out on a little walk to show her off. I've been dying to try out the Quinny Zapp stroller!
