Today is the one week anniversary of my daughter's birth. That's right. Sarah Margaret Epstein was born, June 1st 2013, at 7:15 pm.

Sarah Margaret is the most wonderful baby in the world, but I'm just a little biased.

She has a wide range of interests, including sleeping, eating, stretching, and making doo doo.

When I sing "Take me out to the Ballgame" to her, she likes to give me skeptical look like I'm crazy.

She likes to sleep all day and stay up all night. Kinda like her father. She cries when she's hungry, and that's it.

It would be easy for me to wax poetical here about the benefits of children, how they are our message to the future, and a continuous link on the chain from Adam (or whoever your favorite cro-magnon ancestor is) to the next generation. But rather than worry about the challenges of raising a good kid, I'll be rocking her in my arms, singing every silly childhood song I can think of. The values teaching can wait a little bit, for now.
