Baby pattern balding

So, some of you may be wondering what is in this picture, OK all of you. This is the corner of Little Bug's bassinet. You see, Little Bug is particularly bald and she is getting balder. Those two brown circular spots are the remnants of her hair. It does not matter where we place her in the bassinet, she always manages to worm her way up to the top left hand corner. With all her side to side head movements she has rubbed off all her hair! Luckily, she has started regrowing some replacement peach fuzz for us.

Who's the boss?

Andrew and I were under the impression that we were in charge around here. This took a drastic turn when Little Bug decided to start teething. Since, she has let us know, usually in the form of unstoppable tears and wailing, that she is really the one in charge. I'm really hoping some teeth pop out soon! As of late, she spends most days like this.

or like this...unwilling to release that pacifier! Don't even try to pull it out!

Thanks Grandma D.

Little Bug loves her new spring dress!

Story time

We have come to find out that Little Bug likes to read. She especially likes this fabric elephant shaped book. She actually looks like she's following along. Andrew even asked her to help flip the page and as evidenced by the blurry photo she dutifully tried.

Little Bug is also learning how to grab and purposely hit toys. The other day I watched her hit this one dangling toy over and over again...However, I think I was more entertained than she was. Really, it had me captivated for a solid 30 minutes.

When will it end?!

I really just have one question here. Ok, maybe it's a borderline concern. When will my hair stop falling out?! And I really mean falling out! I know I know, I just had a baby and it was mentioned to me such a thing might happen. However, I don't think I was prepared for this! I'd take a picture of the shower drain for you all to prove my point, but I don't think you want to see such a sight.

We caught you

A friend of mine, Marie Johnson, was so sweet and offered to take pictures of Little Bug. Of course I said yes! What mom could resist such an offer?! I love that I finally have pics of her smile! Our camera is just a tad bit slow, ok a lot slow. All our attempts at capturing her smile were big fuzzy blurs.

For other news, Little Bug has decided rolling onto her side is pretty fun and has also come to the conclusion that her parents are not as interesting as first thought. We're adusting. We get a quick good morning smile and then she's all bright eyed for everything else in the room. It's tuff loosing out to a white wall.

What has Little Bug done to us?!

Along came Little Bug...who knew she came with so much dirty laundry. I just did the laundry three days ago! We use to be able to go two weeks. How can such a little person go through so many burp cloths, sheets, and cloths?! I really want to know.

Splash Splish

Here's Little Bug breaking in her first swimsuit! She's about to grow out of it so we resorted to using it for bath time. Andrew thinks she's gonna be a great butterflyer and he can't wait to get her into a real pool. He also promises her that she gets to drive the boat when we go water skiing in Utah this summer.

Productivity shot

When I woke up this morning I had so many hopes and dreams. As in, I was ready to tackle the apartment with a good scrub, hit up the grocery store to restock our empty cupboards, take care of the massive amounts of laundry(by the way, I can't even count how many loads of laundry that I have to do a week), walk around Lake Merrit, meet with my adviser for school, and try a new recipe for dinner.

Now, let's go over what I actually did today...I met with my supervisor. Wow, that was a pretty short list. In fact, the only reason I was even able to do meet with her is because I had a scheduled appointment. However, Little Bug was fed, bathed, changed, and showered with hugs, coos, and kisses all day long. And to top it all off she finally gave me a real genuine laugh! For some reason our five o'clock diaper change was like the best thing that has ever happened to her. If only all diaper changes are that monumental for her!

Why Mom? Why?

I read in a book you're suppose to give your baby 15-20 minutes of tummy time a day. Are you serious Clark?! (Thanks Brian for our favorite phrase.) It takes Little Bug all of 5 seconds to realize her tummy is not where she wants to be. Notice the strategically placed toys to try and make tummy time fun time. She's not falling for it.
