ookala discovered that she can wiggle her way out of even tightly swaddled blanket, and does not hesitate to use this knowledge. which is funny, because she is much happier when swaddled tight.

isn’t this the perfect metaphor for all our human condition?

very fascinating to watch – a face of a sleeping infant. the brain is establishing functional parameters, and it’s firing testing sequences to facial muscles; you can see smile, frown, fear, concern, pleasure, surprise and so on replacing each other in eerie display of alien technology.

perhaps scientologists are up onto something. scary but infinitely fascinating.

ookala prefers to spend her time as a burrito, swaddled tight in a blanket. if you unwrap it and put her butt up on your belly, she will eventually crawl up so her temple is pushing up your chin. she likes to be called “gusiki-bubusiki”.

today she is 5 days old. she kept smiling when i was singing her a song. she raised her eyebrow. she has a dimple on her left cheek.
