Bath Time

Now that we got rid of that pesky umbilical cord, we get to have baths all the time. Here is Shelby getting ready to get in the bath. I worried that she might not like the bath, but she doesn't mind it at all. She loves to look at all the animals on her bathtub and loves lounging in her bath chair.

This is after the bath, sitting in her towel, and getting dry. It is harder to get dry when she pees all over her towel and on the rug like she did today Ü

Next, we have to get lotioned and then get dressed. When Mom is in charge we usually put on a clean pair of pajamas, when Dad is in charge we have to wear real clothes.

Either way, we love to bath and Shelby smells so good after the lotion!

A Girl After My Own Heart

Shelby has been sleeping a lot today. We both slept well last night and the night before, so I am not sure what is prompting this sleepiness, but she can't seem to stay awake. I even put her in her crib to sleep and she didn't wake up - this is unheard of during the day. I selected "I Am NOT Going To Get Up Today" for storytime, but she couldn't even stay awake long enough for a story this afternoon!

I put her in her "jazzy chair" while I was pumping this morning and she fell fast asleep. I was able to pump, clean the microwave, eat breakfast, excercise for 30 mins (!!!), shower, get dressed, watch House, crochet, and eat lunch before she woke up. I haven't had so much time to myself in a long time, but I am a little worried that I may be having a lot of quality time with Shelby tonight. Hopefully the sleepiness will not wear off until morning Ü

Yankee Girl

I guess it was unavoidable and I don't think we did too much to prevent it, but my little girl is a Yankee fan! I think we got her off on the right foot by exposing Shelby to the world's greatest baseball team while she was still in the womb when we watched the World Series, I think her favorite player then was C.C. Sabathia, maybe because she likes people with chubby cheeks like herself...Anyway, we couldn't wait to get her into her little Yankee t-shirt, even if she is still a little small for it.

New World's Record

Yes that is right, my amazing little girl has just set a new world's record! On day 37 (!!!) she has finally lost her umbilical cord. I know it seems ridiculous and it is. It only fell out after a week of some intense rubbing alcohol therapy. She had her first real bath and it was so much better and easier than the sponge baths we have been having for the past month. Even better news is that she is almost asleep, so I am going to go put her and myself to bed Ü

Tummy Time

I think this helps to show just how tiny Shelby is!
Some days are more successful than others........
