Two weeks

There's not too much new to report from here. Erin has continued to be a mellow baby even after the infamous two week mark. She does have a restless period in the evening, but nothing that could really be called fussy.

Erin did have her first bath last week after her cord fell off and we have since repeated a bath a little bit more successfully. Erin dislikes getting all naked, but she seems to enjoy the warm water until we rinse her hair. That's when she decides that she's had enough and is done cooperating.


Auntie Muggy is in town to meet Erin this weekend. Between Muggy, Gramma Beth, Gramma and Grampa Prekker and Matt, Erin hasn't been set down all weekend. She doesn't seem to mind a whole lot and woos everyone with her sly accidental smiles and other funny faces. I think that she's going to take after me with her range of facial expressions. That means at this point we think that she takes after me with her expressions, her long fingers and funny toes. I'm so proud.


We're going to try our first trip to the dog park today with Muggy and Paul and the dogs. Hopefully the boys will be well behaved and Erin won't have a blow out diaper in the middle of the walk. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Erin did manage to break her own personal record yesterday by pooping on me and Gramma Beth. What a day.

Here is a picture that gives you an idea of her feet. They are incredibly long and skinny with nice gripper toes. I think that they look like Charlie Brown feet because her heel manages to stick out behind her ankle. I'm also convinced that she looks like Darth Vader when she's burped and her hands look a little bit like Mr. Burn's. Gramma Beth seems disturbed by these rather unflattering comparisons. I really do think that she is beautiful, but come on, babies look funny sometimes.
