First Story Time

Daddy had his first story time with Little Janie tonight and they cracked open the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.  Yep, he didn’t start with “The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh” or “Brown Bear, Brown Bear”.  He chose “Lord of the Rings”.  Janie looks like she’s thoroughly enjoying it so far.

Tummy Time on Daddy

This morning, Janie spent her morning Tummy Time propped up on Daddy’s tummy.  She tolerated the activity a little longer than usual despite having the hiccups and got her head up pretty high several times.  I think it’s so funny and cute when she works so hard that her eyes cross.  She looks like a turtle when she has to concentrate that hard.  It’s also funny that she likes to nom-nom on her sleeves during break time.  Click here if you can’t see the video above.

So tonight, we got the bath ready and it was time for a little soak in the warm water.  We had a feeling she wouldn’t like it and we were right.  She cried most of the time but actually calmed for a bit in the middle.

It was a really quick bath and I was surprised we were able to get a few photos taken of the “traumatic” experience.

She stopped crying immediately after she was taken out of the water and wrapped up in her towel.  What a funny girl.

She was also pretty chill while Daddy put on her diaper and PJs.  It was almost time for a feeding so we had to give her a pacifier too, which kept her satisfied until we were finished drying and dressing her.

Here she is about 30 minutes later after getting all cleaned and fed.
