17-23. august

four weeks, and she only tolerates baths.  by the end she's pretty over the whole situation.
to be fair, she's only had about four baths... we are going the "minimalist" route.  hah.

post-bathtime snuggly fluff.

these cheeks help her focus.

the daytime crankies.  

the changing table is probably her favorite place.

she likes to stare at the light coming through the shades

i call this one "toe-tal perfection."

she officially has a belly button!

we texted this to her daddy when he went on a trip to tell him we missed him.

practicing with the pacifier.  it is very hard.  

auntie mikah.  she works wonders with the daytime crankies.

first time walking her to sleep without a huge fight.  eda is trying to take the credit.

important conversations.

first time away from arlo.  even if it was only 15 minutes.  

arlo's first party.

obviously, she doesn't need glasses.  duh, mama!

but she does need a mustache.

just finished our very first hike!  so relaxing that she slept through the whole thing.

squishy snuggles

she's not sure what to think about this tummy time business.

accidentally found her thumb!

arlo and her fellas.  everyone in our birth class had boys except us! (arlo is the future nurse)

arlo is famous.  the photographer from "the big latch" to promote national breastfeeding week liked her.
