The little pooper is dead asleep on the bed next to me as I write this. I am dying because this little girl just gets funnier by the day. Ken and I are having so much fun and I think we both feel that the exhaustion wouldn't be so bad if Ken wasn't working nights. Being by myself at night is NOT fun. Penny and I do just fine for the most part but some nights are hard when she won't stop crying and Ken's baby-whispering skills are not there to lull her back to sleep. Plus, Ken is working his butt off all night long and then has to come home and fall asleep with the sun streaming in the window all day long (we have black-out curtains but we have corner windows and are struggling to find curtain rods that fit.) Well, enough complaining about exhaustion, that seems to be the number one topic of all other parents so I will try not to put too much time into that complaint.
Ken and I have dealt with many a "poop-splosion", but I think this was one of the funniest. I was rocking Penny and she was just content in my arms. I went to hand her to Ken to have him hold her and he puts his hand on her back and into a huge poop-spray. Of course, not a single drop got on me (yay!). Ken and I rushed into poop clean-up surgery and changed her diaper and cleaned her back-- both of us laughing our butts off. Penny just looked so content the whole time. I'm sure she was happy to get rid of that!
We had our family photo shoot yesterday evening and it went SO well! I can't wait to share the photos. I am hoping to see them soon. Penny was a total trooper, especially since earlier that day we visited City Hall to let my coworkers meet her. She was passed around to everyone and only cried a little bit (mostly because she was hungry). We then went to my parent's house and hung out there until the photo shoot and we then we slept over there afterwords. It was Penny's first night away from home and she did beautifully! She only cried when she was hungry and then ate and went back to sleep. So nice to get a few practice rounds in before we head up to our family reunion in late July. Then, this morning, we had the graduation of the preschool class that I taught and Penny was a trooper through that entire business as well. The kids were so excited to meet Penny and the parents were so sweet too!
The little one is starting to stir... I am guessing she is going to be hungry. I am blessed that I have such a good eater!
I will update more soon!
Love,
Steph
Here are some funny pics of Penny!
