It's just that it is hard to type while also holding a baby. And at times I have felt as if I am sleep-walking due to lack of sleep. So I focused on the blog so a larger number of people would get updates and photos.
Now that Nicholas is consistently sleeping through the night and even happily playing on his floor quilt for brief periods I will try to reply to e-mails that have been sitting in my inbox for a few months.
It may take a while to get through them all...
