May 16, 2009I wish you could hear the sound that goes with the above picture. It's this adorable little cooing sound that's just the absolute cutest thing in the whole world. I love that sound -- I think it's one of my new favorite sounds in the world (that and her "dinosaur" sound).
It was a pretty good day. Lil Miss was very good. We went and got my hairs cut this morning (yep -- it's pretty short. If this tells you anything -- I donated to Locks of Love, meaning I cut at least 10 inches off -- dry). Jimmy hates it. Mainly because he doesn't like short hair on girls. He's actually a little upset with me because he told me he didn't want me cutting it all off, but I thought he meant all off, like pixie cut all off. That wouldn't look good on me, so I'd never do that. It's right about my jaw line. But that's apparently too short. So he's grumpy that I cut it after he told me not to, but I keep saying he'll get used to it.
I like it.

At the Vandenburg.After getting the hairs cut we run a couple of errands and then headed into Old Town to check the mail and messages for work (since we were there already) but most importantly to get Moo Cow. After that, we had about forty five minutes to kill before our bus came through, so we walked down to the Truman Waterfront. There's this big old retired military ship, the U.S.S. Vandenburg, there. They're going to sink it off the coast of Key West and make it an artificial reef where people can dive and stuff. I realized that this is a bit of Key West history that Lil Miss is alive for, but won't remember. So I got some of the tourists down there to take a picture of me and Lil Miss so I could prove to her that she did get to see the Vandenburg when it was above water -- even if she doesn't remember it!
After we got home, Lil Miss took a small nap (long enough for Mommy to do the dishes and clean up a little bit) and then got up to be played with and cuddled all afternoon. The switch to soy formula seems to be going well. She seems to like it enough and I don't think it upsets her tummy as much. She has a much easier time with her messy diapers and doesn't seem to be as gassy. So this may be the trick.
She has put herself on a schedule though, so she's a grumpy butt from about eight until she finally falls asleep, usually around nine. She fights sleep for almost an hour -- I guess she thinks she's going to miss something?

Sleeping in her pack n play.So one of the many things we inherited from our neighbor Natalie was a pack and play for Lil Miss. Obviously she hasn't really used it yet, as she's not big enough to really need it yet. She still sleeps in the bassinet with us in our room. But when we got home this afternoon, I was doing some stuff in our room and didn't want to wake her, so I laid her in her room. I was going to put her in the second bassinet, but decided to see how she liked the crib.
She seems to like it. She slept just fine in it. Putting her in and getting her out is a little harder on Mommy's back, but it's not bad. And she seems comfortable so yay!
Yeah, again, don't feel like loading all the apartment photos. At some point, I really will put them up here.
Also, I'll try to get some photos of the hair cut tomorrow. I like it. I hope y'all do too. I'm sure Jimmy'll get used to it -- it's just very very different (I'm glad Lil Miss is too young to really freak out about Mommy looking so different!)
And now? Sleep.

I just love seeing her daddy's face in yesterday and today's pictures! Her mouth in the first one today looks just like him. She is so adorable. I can't wait to come back and hear her coo and roar.
ReplyDeleteKudos on the hair cut. You don't do that much. And thanks for giving to Locks of Love. Tell Jim he let you make a donation to something that really matters. Hair grows back.
Daniel feels the same way about short hair, but the donation part is good and he got over it. And I think it looks adorable on you! Glad the soy is working out. Both of my girls fought sleep too. I always thought the same thing, but eventually they will realize nothing much happens after they go to sleep!
