I'm ready for my close up...

There has been a serious lack of photos of the Sweet Baby Girl lately. So here are a couple from her recent photo shoot at Grammy's house. Thank you Corey and Angela for her cute outfit!

Maggie Kissy Feet

Today Maggie, our English Springer Spaniel, was actually calm enough to lay down on the couch with Christopher and the baby. She started to kiss Eowyn's feet. Eowyn didn't seem sure of what was going on, but Maggie seemed pretty proud of her "baby caring for" ability. It was very cute. I unfortunately didn't get a pick prior to Maggie being over zealous and making an attempt at hands and face...that was when she was told to get off the couch. Eowyn can't get her feet to her mouth yet, but hands and face seemed off limits to the affections of someone who eats rocks and licks herself.

"It's Poop on me Elmo"

We are going to give cloth diapers a try once the sweet baby girl is a little bigger, poops a little less often and we have a laundry room (right now we have a laundry hallway with scarely enough room for 1 hamper). But in the mean time, we are making great use of all the wonderful diapers that were given to us at showers.

My husband rolled his eyes when he saw the pampers that had Sesame Street characters on them...based on his strong dislike for all licensed characters (he's not biased, he feels the same lack of love for Disney and Nickelodeon).

We used all the other diapers first (mainly because the Pampers seemed a little bigger then the rest) and we are down to the Sesame Street Endorsed Waste Catchers, and Christopher has now found a plus...Eowyn gets to poop on Elmo!

Needless to say we will not be running out to pick up the New TMX Elmo...and we're hoping no one else does so on our behalf.

Wiggles and Giggles!

Eowyn is now 6 weeks old! She has been much more interactive when she's awake lately. She smiles at you instead of just smiling randomly now. She giggles from time to time...and wiggles a lot!

This girl is ready to MOVE. Her legs are moving almost all the time. She likes to push off so anytime her feet hit a solid surface she straightens her legs. It's very cute, but makes feeding harder, since she keeps pushing herself away from the source of the food, seems frustrated the "food moved", then has to get settled eating again, only to wiggle her legs around until she finds a way to push off again.

Despite the interrupted feedings, she's growing like crazy! She weighs 10lbs 6oz! Christopher figured out that if she keeps growing at this rate until she's 1 year old, so will weigh 50 pounds. I assured him the growth will level out and she will not be a 50 pound toddler!



Here is the Sweet Baby Girl playing with her doll. If I put the doll's arm into Eowyn's hand, she'll grab on and flop the doll around, trying to get it in her mouth. She likes to play like this on her back, but still is not fond of tummy time. She also enjoys the baby swing we bought, though it usually puts her to sleep. Her favorite activity is still be walked by someone, anyone, me, her dad, her grandparents, as long as she's moving she's happy.

Starting the wardrobe...

The Sweet Baby Girl wants to thank Grammy O for the tutu and Sarah for the cool BabyLegs! This outfit is such a fun ensemble!! What a way to dress up a simple longsleeve white onsie...
