Adventures in Bathing

We've started bathing Ada every night before bed now. Kim realized that it helps her sleep much longer and harder, and we're big fans of that. So most nights now, Ada will sleep 6-7 hours after a good warm bath. But the process isn't without its problems.

A few nights back, Kim took off Ada's dirty diaper pretty close to the sink we bathe her in and cleaned her off. But as she held Ada close to her to walk the 3 or 4 feet to the sink, Ada crapped all over Kim and the bathroom floor. We quickly got her to the sink, but then realized that we'd need to drain it and get new water because of the green excrement now floating around in it. Kim cleaned herself off and wiped up the floor, as I drained the sink and held Ada in a towel in case she decided to let loose with #1 or even #2 again. We collected ourselves and got the new bath ready, but as soon as we put Ada down into it she let loose a torrent of urine that shot up and fell back down into the water (it looked like a fountain).

The third time was a charm, but I shudder to think about what our water bill might be like these next few months.

Out & About

Kim and Ada are getting out a little more in the past week. Kim's finally feeling close to normal from her c-section and was cleared to start driving last week. Ada hates being put in her car seat, she cries and screams and kicks. But once she is in and we are moving she normally calms down or even falls asleep.

Ada's made trips now to her grandparents, the Dr's office, Rudy's BBQ, Kerby Lane and even the grocery store. We can't wait to get her to Mosaic on a Sunday night, but she hasn't been cleared yet to be around other small kids or groups that big.

Bath Time

Ada's umbilical cord fell off recently, so she had her first full bath in a tub tonight (so far we had just baby-wiped her a lot). She did great, and didn't even cry.

Wake Up Little Ada

The Dr. told us yesterday we didn't have to wake Ada up anymore for feedings at night. But this afternoon she slept for over six hours, and we started to get worried she wasn't going to sleep tonight. We also knew she'd be real hungry (which is bad for her mood) whenever she did wake up. So, I started trying to wake her with this impromptu song. Kim thought it was funny and started up the camera.
