Quirky Girl

It has happened, all the memories are running together. Did G take the picture, did I. Neither one of us remembers taking the picture. What time did you put her to sleep? Which side did she feed from last time? Did I change her diaper? It is all becoming a fog.

Daddy, thinks we are going to have a quirky girl on our hands, at least he hopes so.

February 02, 2008

Of course we are just going to show the smiley pictures, what else is there to show. LP is already pretending she is mommy. Mommy is usually the one sitting in the middle of the HOT pink boppy pillow.

LP is a totally different baby when daddy hasn't got a hold of her hair. He can't seem to resist messing it up and it's evident when he's the one who's been holding her. So this pic's proof that her hair does not have to stand on end, in every direction...

February 16, 2008

Hey, Psssssst! I gotta secret. Ya wanna hear it?
Ok-
"I hide my crack in my diaper."
"Tee hee, Daddy says thats funny."

This is either a mommy's little caterpillar or daddy's green chili burrito, either way she is a happy one.

LP's Room

We have been asked about LP's room on occasion and figured you might like to see part of it. Funny, LP hasn't seen it either. She is still in mom and dad's room... And just to see if we can get a rise out of anyone, she is sleeping in our bed.

January 16, 2008

Perhaps when she tires of us she will crawl walk to her own bed and climb in. What a neat day that will be. Doesn't it look like it is her own little private padded room. I wonder if the bars will give her that extra little sense of security.

The picture is from January, but nothing has changed in this early part of March.

First Meal in a Public Restaurant

LP got to go to her first restaurant. Room service in the hospital doesn't count. So in honor of the event she got a ibix sort of getup goin on. Bear ears for valentines, ibix head gear for going to lunch.

Daddy is happily eating his $10.00 vege-burger with green chili and cheddar. Trying not to think about the fact that a loaf of bread, box of grillers, pound of cheese, accoutrements, could also be eaten for about ten bucks. But the view is great and the company outstanding.

Two Months

I reached two months, exciting stuff and have grown 4 inches and now weigh 11lbs. 10 oz. You can call me chunks if you want to. Mommy and Daddy think my eyes are going to be bluish gray maybe even grayish blue. My nap times are changing, my fussy times are changing and even my night time sleeping habits are changing. I gotta keep my parentals on their toes.

ciao babies

LP

Whose nose does she have?

This nose is your nose, that nose is my nose, but nobody knows when it snows in...
If daddy promises to brush his teeth, LP can tolerate a little nose'n.
LP, I find that to be a bit hypocritical, if you would take the time to smell your own little parmesan neck...

Father Daughter Day (wife too)

We promised to take LP to my office and finally did. She got to meet many of Daddy's co-workers. She was a hit.

February 14, 2008

Oddly enough, this was LP's best daiper change ever. She was ridiculously happy.

February 14, 2008

It was as if she was saying TuhDahhhh!

February 14, 2008

And with a quick change here, a wipe there, and a hit from the baby bottle, she was out like a thing that goes out real quick.

Valentines Bear??? ( I think ), well not quite

Who in the world thought, you know what would be really cute? If we put ears on top of some poor kids head and made them look like a little pink bear. That would be like putting a sweater on some poor unsuspecting terrier... Hey! wait a minute. We love it!! Cutest little Valentine's bear ever, don't you think?

More Bath Time

Bath time is getting much more enjoyable Momma G's system is quite efficient. We are still not sure if LP will like Mom's 7 minute shower or Dad's 25 minute version.

LP are you chewing gum?

January 27, 2008

No Mommy, look.

Happy Couple

So Mom, what doya wanna do tonight? I was think'n maybe go out on the town, get some boob, maybe poo alittle and then uhh maybe take a nap. I know this great place that stays open all night. You'll love it.

Daddy's Twin

LP was sitting on my lap during a sun rich morning. The rays were shining through LP's hair, making them almost invisible. I guess I won't have to shave her head to make a Mini Me.
Jan 25, 2008

We love the little hand flippy things that flip over her hands. She gets pretty fussy and her little wolverine claws get pretty dangerous.
Jan 25, 2008


We think that her eyes are going to be blue. They are lightening up a bit. They are also more clear, big and bright.
Jan 25, 2008

Our little girl has a sweet temperament, and lucky for us since we bought her at Target and we lost our receipt.
Jan 25, 2008

Dad, I was think'n

Dad, while I was chill'n on your shoulder here. I was think'n... with the US dollar sliding into the diaper region and the stock market as erratic has it has been maybe we should consider a more diversified investment strategy in small cap...

Huh?

Short Post

We are so appreciative of all the support friends and the church have given. The right people at the right time have been so supportive. The generosity that has been shown us is wonderful. It has been humbling to be on the receiving end of it.

G was wondering if some of her friends had received the email announcing LP and this blog. Very few have sent a return email. Also if you would like to comment on any of the blog posts, don't hesitate to make a blogger account. It only takes a minute and is free.


Finally, something other than pink.

BURRRRRRRP! Good one Peanut, just like your ol' man.
Jan 19, 2008

Aunt K and kids got LP these socks last summer. On LP they look like knee highs. Daddy is really lazy, he refuses to snap the middle snap on the onesy. It seems unnecessary. But in order to not look lazy he snaps the outer two rather than just the center one

A Hint of a Routine

Well, it seems we are hitting a stride. Or better we have lowered our expectations as to what can be accomplished in a day. S is working from home so he can be an extra pair of hands. LP has a bit of a routine. G is sneaking in her naps.

It's funny, bordering on embarrassing the things that we don't know we don't know.

We asked what do we do for diaper rash? Logical question. Use a zinc oxide product was the logical answer. The missing part was, Zinc Oxide is a preventative barrier.
Once LP got a nasty diaper rash we began to apply Zinc Oxide. Now we know.

"Butt Paste" is the most awesome goo. Don't know what is in it, but we have finally gotten the rash under control. Now we get to see how Zinc Oxide really works.

What did they do a century ago for diaper rash? Is it just a problem with diapers? Did dirt floors solve some of the problems?

LP likes bath time, she likes to lay under the heat lamps, they make her sleepy.
Jan 14, 2008

LP is just chill'n on Momma's lap, wearing more pink. She has outgrown her first outfit. Good for her.

Little Chameleon

We had another beautiful sunny morning. And G started thinking about pictures for announcements. G liked the drama of the lighting, but thought that LP looked boyish.
We have seen so many people and expressions in LP, she is a little chameleon.

She is sometimes contemplative, not quite on par with Rodin's "The Thinker", after all he wasn't wearing a ribbon in his hair.
Jan 09, 2008

I will give you one guess what LP is doing here. It's something Grandma C is really good at. I am going to get a dipper up side my head for this one, but it was worth it.
Jan 09, 2008

And finally... I was a bit concerned after seeing this picture that perhaps Presidential hopeful and Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson humm umm...

Jan 09, 2008


I would like to publicly thank the Governor for sending us a congratulatory birth card for LP.

First Tub Bath

It was a momentous day. Little Peanuts UC stump fell off this morning. On one hand it was great because we had been instructed no tub baths until the stump fell off - girl was getting ripe. On the other hand, daddy is going to miss flick'n it and trying to ring cheerios on it. Oh yeah, there was some sort of mother daughter connection thing going on as well.

We bought her a little blue tub. This is a great device for potty training. As soon as you put her in it... she poos, peas, if she could do something else, she would. As with everything, this first bath took a long time. How do you hold a baby to wash her hair. She's a slippery little sucker. Is the water to hot, to cold, will she react to the soap, keep her head up. Ooooh, she did that in the water. How do you wash... well you know those places.
Jan 07, 2008

Daddy loves to give kisses and noses to LP. And even more so after a bath. Now if we could just do something about that milk breath. Maybe get Momma to start eat'n mints or something.

Uncle D's Birthday

Today was Uncle D's birthday. LP's first birthday other than her own. She got Uncle D a car wash gift certificate for his cool car. After all it has to be clean if he is going to take her to the traveling version of "The highschool musical" that daddy won't take her to. What a good uncle.

Uncle D promised to teach LP how to load filing cabinets into the back of a truck. LP is going to teach Uncle D how to pluck his eyebrow.

Grandma G is a giddy as a school girl when she has LP. Daddy is hoping that LP learns how to make tortilla's & tamales from Grandma G.
Grandma G had retired from teaching Sabbath School. I bet she picks it back up in a couple of years.
Jan 2, 2008

If LP turns out to be spoiled rotten, Grandma G will be to blame. Grandma C will have to take some credit to. But since she is not pictured here we won't talk about her.

Going to Sleep

This new bedtime is rediculous. Before LP we had been getting closer to the 10PM nighty nite, but that is history. Nighty nite is when you get to close your eyes.

The ritual is new to us, but the 100 billion people on the planet before us are all familiar with it.
Feed, clean em' up, feed some more, clean em up, special time, put em' to bed, and thats called a 2 hour lunch. By the way you haven't eaten yet. We will adapt.

But after a long day, we laid LP down for our night (her 1.5 hour nap) and we were greeted with this...
Jan 02, 2008 - 12:41AM

she is clueless as to her expression... but it warmed our hearts.

We read and drew a plan from the book babywise. One of the first question was... is the baby going to join your schedule or are you going to join hers. Looking back with a whopping two weeks of experience, its not an either or question.
Jan 02, 2008 - 12:42AM

In the end she will join our schedule, but she will have made the schedule for us.
