One Monthiversary events:
Bath time. We've found that she won't scream as much with a pacifier to distract her.
Graduated! One month old and big enough to try her cloth diapers!
They are still a little big, but they closed around her legs and stayed on--good enough!
Happy One-Monthiversary Gift: A bouncy chair!
(probably more of a gift for mom and dad though...she's been pretty fussy during her waking hours these days. Today I finally got the dishwasher loaded in three shifts--and that was after it took me about the same amount of time to empty the clean dishes from it yesterday!)
I suggested some sort of swing or bouncy chair to Ricardo, and after he read some reviews online, including one that said it put their babies right to sleep, he got up, went to Babies R Us, and came back with this!
We did try her in it, and while she did fuss just a bit, most of the time she enjoyed the vibration, and was distracted (and then maybe overwhelmed) by the toys (so we took them off). We bounced her occasionally, while eating our dinner sitting on the floor beside her.
And then she fell asleep. So I got the laundry folded! We didn't remember to take a picture of her in it, and right now she's asleep in her Moses basket, and there's no way I'm waking her up to get a picture of her in her bouncy chair!
My friend Shannon Gracey Rush took monthiversary pictures of her daughter with cupcakes...and I'm shamelessly stealing the idea. However, because the mood of my daughter required that I get absolutely nothing done (except feeding and holding and feeding her) today, I found myself making cupcakes at 10:30pm after she was asleep. Again...I'm not waking her up for a picture, so she'll never know she was this close to something delicious that she cannot eat yet...
Happy One Month Xaris--you are loved!
