Splish splash I was taking a bath...

Mommy and Daddy finally mustered up the courage to give Christopher his first at-home sponge bath yesterday to celebrate his first full week in the world. It was a comedy of errors on our part but Chris didn't seem to mind. We set up shop by the kitchen sink and it took our four hands to get the job done. I thought our little boy would be thoroughly irritated by the whole experience but he was quite content and smelled very nice afterward. Taking advantage of his pleasant state of mind, we went for a family walk around the block where we ran into our neighbors Dave and Sue. We talked with them for a bit...according to Christopher it was a bit too long because he started crying at the top of his lungs. I later ascertained that stopping the stroller was the issue because once we started moving, he was fine. I guess for 9 months he got used to his mother constantly moving and won't have it any other way! Two good bits of news--Grandma Turick (aka Grammy) is coming into town today to help out and visit for a couple weeks while Daddy goes back to work. And we found out that Mare, Sheryl, Ally and Julia are coming to visit in the end of August on their back from Florida. We are so excited for them to visit this fine state of ours!
