Ha!

Battery charger has been located.. IT never really was lost. If we looked where we usually put it.. We would have found it. OH well..

**Notes.. ** baby turned over on her belly today. I think it was due to pure hunger looking for me..

Arghh!!! Technology...

We have been pretty frustrated lately because we can't find the battery charger for our camera. This is one of the few times I wish we had a standard AAA battery camera.

In description, baby has gotten cuter - she's a little bit longer - her hair is edging over her ears - and her eyes are getting wider by the day. She's filling into some of her 3 month old clothes now, although she is only 1 month+ in age.

Hopefully, we will find our battery charger soon because she's starting to be big enough to put into the really cute clothes.

Please let this image suffice as part of a delayed baby update.

Bath Time: part 3

She was finally relaxed for the first time before, after, and during her 3rd bath.

She peed in the tub and on my blue jeans. It's okay, her waste products smell like flowers still.

We're testing the water with the back of our hands. I think we got the temp right now.

It's still a tag team event. Mommy has to hold baby in the tub and above it while daddy wipes and soaps.

Maybe next time she'll poop on us.

She's been keeping her eyes open and looking around for up to half an hour lately.

The Alki Walk

We dropped onto the Alki strip this weekend. It was one of the first times that the sun decided to grace us in weeks.

I considered commemorating the birth of our child with a giant HAWK emblazoned onto my chest. The artist had other convictions about angels and dragons. We kindly declined his counter offer of skin art.

"Jimmy, I don't think a caricature of the baby with wings slaying a red dragon is the image I want to convey. Strong, but wrong."

Star Wacks

I found myself offended and marginalized by the Starbucks on Alki.

In the attempt to care for my child by cleaning her dirty diaper I was sexually ostracized by the conventions of society.

There is NO Diaper Changing table in the men's room of this cafe.

Much to the defeat of my pride and the stink of my child's behind, a woman saw my anxiety and let me into the ladies room while watching the door for me. The agony. Have we not progressed in the world enough to realize that men do baby work too now?

Starbucks is Wack!

(My apologies to the 8 women waiting in line outside of the Starbucks on Alki bathroom at 3:18pm last Sunday.)

Arghhh

Some dumb lady in the bathroom line thought she was a boy because she was wearing brown.

Sexual Discrimination is rampant on Alki!!!

Happy three weeks Vita Grace!

She's Always Sleepy

We always love holding Vita pretty often. A lot of the time we trick her into sleeping in the bassinet by heating it up. At night or in the morning we'll take her out just to lay with her.

She likes sleeping with mommy.
She likes sleeping with daddy too.

Luckily, she doesn't mind that daddy is snoring.
