So, this is Z from Oct 1 - isn't she adorable ? The outfit is out of the new Dwell line at Target - some nice modern stuff for baby. She's laying on the changing table here, which we have found she loves to do. I think it's the mirror that's adjacent. Also, the orange trees seem to be coming into focus now, which is pretty awesome. We can walk around the room taking a tour of our orchard.
Meanwhile, these snoozing photos are from last week, but it's a familiar pose around here. Oftentimes, whenever Z is sleeping I choose between napping, eating, going to the bathroom, showering, etc. You can see that posting to the blog doesn't quite make the necessity list, unfortunately. Pumping is supposed to be in that list too, so that someone else (Daddy, or maybe Auntie Em?) can take over a feeding, however last nite during only my second go at it the pump broke. Medela was super nice, and will be sending a new one, but that's still another week without pumping to keep up the supply of frozen goods. It also means we probably won't be going out for our anniversary, so rain check on that one!
And here are a couple of parting shots, also from last week. Z's first ride out in the stroller (which we do try to do every day, but honestly it ends up sort of every-other day). And a picture of us perfecting the sling. We're still working on it, but when I can get her in there, she stops crying in two minutes, and is asleep 5 minutes later. An absolute sanity saver. At our next La Leche League meeting I'm going to ask the others how to nurse in the thing - if that works out it could be my new best friend, deserving of a nick-name even!
