Also, you must explain how she got that scratch on her face, even if you don't even know. You might as well start now, everyone always wants to know how THAT happened, be it a bruise or a scratch or whatever. Yes, the bruise smack dab in the middle of my toddler's forehead was from banging it on the floor, and how many moms felt ever so much better that theirs was not the only one. It's a little annoying but it also is part of the sisterhood credo: No, you are not the only one, unless you seriously are. SHE’S GOT HAIR! Visible hair!

However, she loved snuggling on my chest, which counts as I understand it. Snuggle more, screw the formalities. I have managed to go to the store (rained out the farmer's market thursday) three times, and I have half the ingredients. I will eventually remember to get the rest and then I can try it, because drooling every time I go here has got to stop somehow. M hated formal tummy time, with a passion.

The days whiz by so fast even when they're grown. Enjoy that precious baby! Let the laundry sit!

I love the "no tubes" look on her. She's really working it! I don't know if this is helpful but as the mother of a now 15 (gasp!) year old, all I can say is that you will find your footing as a confident mom sooner than you realize (if you haven't already) and you don't really need a single baby book because the best teacher is the baby herself. She'll be trash to you and staying out past her curfew in no time! That baby gets more delicious everyday. I love the “no tubes” look on her. She’s really working it!

Too bad Simone has no teeth, I'm sure she's a bastion of infantile taste. She'd enjoy it. Mmmm, that looks delicious. Too bad Simone has no teeth, I’m sure she’s a bastion of infantile taste.

You sound like you are doing a fab job and being a typical 1st time mum... isn't that so cool! I run a charity at a state hospital in South Africa and deal with prem babies all the time who have a special place in my heart. They are so brave and feisty and have souls far bigger than their teeny hairy bodies. I haven’t read your blog for a while (rude I know) and its so cool to see a pic of your precious girlpants.
