Lunch with Baby Archer

Today Carol picked us up for lunch. My car had to go back to the shop again. It is the transmission. Thank you Club166 for the car advice.

Getting Maizie ready for lunch was a challenge. She is excited and then at the last minute she panics. Today was the first day I was able to talk her out of the anxiety. Her main concerns are the lights, noise and food. The lights and noise are out of my control. Her Topomax has been increased as of last night and I think it is helping. We are seeing a reduction in spells. So far we are not seeing any behavioral problems due to the medication.

Carol is adjusting well to being a mommy. Archer is such a cutie. After lunch they came over and Maizie was able to hold Archer for a while. We are both in love with Archer's little baby feet. They are so cute. Darwin, our dog is a baby licker. He loves to clean babies. Luckily Carol has two Greyhounds and knows how to work with doggies who like to kiss babies.

I love the picture above. Maizie looks like she is having a fascinating conversation with Archer. After Maizie was done holding Archer she went downstairs to tell Joe the baby was here. She said something like this, "Daddy! You better get up here to see baby Archer or you won't earn any stickers!" Carol and I cracked up when we heard that. Joe came upstairs shortly thereafter. I did not know Maizie had Joe on a sticker reward program. Too funny. Carol is now thinking about starting a sticker program for her husband Sean.
