Baby Messes, Whip Cream & Crocodiles

Where's Lilah?

We had to improvise a hat

Rooney is an expert at convincing people to feed him.  In fact, he just pressured Ben into teaching him how to catch whip cream in his mouth from the squirt can.  Note to you all: never eat from the whip cream can at our house... probably the peanut butter too.

We came home from church and I noticed some of my pumping supplies spread out on the floor along with a destroyed ziploc  bag that probably had food in it.  Hmmm.  Pretty soon it dawned on me that my entire pumping bag was missing.  Rooney had dragged my entire breasteeding bag thru his tiny doggy door, out to the backyard and proceeded to remove everything from it.  There were a few leftover food items in there from work earlier that morning... Reese's peanut butter cups = the culprit.  He totally didn't go for the applesauce.   Rooney was for sale that day.  We're buds again now.

Post shift nap

Long tiring shifts in the ED have pushed my mommy guilt to the max.  There have been so many sad situations down there and more than a handful of mistreated children.  Seeing all these adorable but sick kids all day just makes me ache to see my little Lilah.  We are so blessed that she is a healthy child, so blessed.

A clearly fascinating "after bath" conversation!

Grandma O + clean baby = Happy house!

Lilah is still rocking some mega cute outfits these days.  As she grows though, so do the scale of the massive blowouts.  It's unfortunate all these cute little clothes have been her target, but hey- a girl has got to have her fun.  My mom and I were the target of such a blowout last Sunday as the sermon was wrapping up.  We realized quickly we had a problem.  As were changing her on the narthex floor trying to avoid giving her a poop mohawk getting her outfit off... someone decided to pee wee wee all over the narthex floor.  I got to laughing so hard we could hardly finish the job!  But overall, Lilah is very sunny most days, and only has mini meltdowns infrequently.  Her favorite toys that get us through the rough times are Emilita Bandita, Shark, Princess Sophia,  Panda, Harold & William and the silly little crocodile on her bouncy rocker.  They are a power crew- playing music, rattling, dancing, and performing high level acrobatic tricks.  We would be lost without them.

12 weeks!

You'd think she was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
