Baby Ga Ga

It's pretty cool being an aunt. Though he's almost through with week 3, I'm just now able to take the time to blog about it. In short, my sister went through very painful labor, couldn't feel the lower half of her body for the delivery, and then I cut the cord on February 27th at 12:04 p.m.

Funny things you may have overheard in the delivery room:

-Martha: Why ice chips? I don't really get it.
-Carly: They're little, tiny pieces of ice, Martha.

-Carly: Maybe I'm just gassy.



-Carly: I wish...I could just...SHUT UP!


I have never witnessed anything more scarring, weirder, and life-changing than what I watched my tiny, tiny sister accomplish. I'm so proud of her, and it turns out that she's a natural pro. I just go over to the house every spare second I have and hold him, so that's mostly what I've been doing. Here are some pictures of Griffin Douglas Davis...



I hope everybody's St. Patrick's Day was fantastic. Matt and I along with our most awesome pals, my mother, my sister, and Griffin set up camp at the Stagger Inn: the #1 Jameson Whiskey Bar in all of Southern Illinois (they have a sign outside proclaiming this). And don't worry, the baby was only there for lunchtime when it was quiet, although I could tell he didn't want to leave when he did. Here's a picture of him after he got wasted:



So we drank a lot of dark beer and listened to Irish music and played shuffle board and had the best day thanks to the gorgeous weather and high spirits.
Okay, so "Just Dance" on the Wii is maybe the most fun game ever. You can play with up to four people at a time and try to mimic what the dancers are doing on the screen to some really good songs like "Groove is in the Heart" by Deee-lite, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie, "Jerk it Out"by Caesars, "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis, "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer....
I brought it over to my Grandma's last week so she could see it (almost everything amazes her), and I played it with my little cousins for a couple hours. Go and buy it immediately if you don't already have it!

I could give you the link to the official online Just Dance demo, but it's super produced and cheesy. It's much better watching these real people try to do it while having actual fun...

Say hey to Matt and the rest of the gang down in E-Ville.
