rumbly in my tumbly

pack and play

Jon is on vacation this week, so we headed up to Amarillo for the night to see what it was like to travel with the little one. We made a stop at Palo Duro Canyon to see the sights. It was too windy for Presley, but I could totally tell she was enjoying it!

She is a great traveler until her tummy starts to growl, and then it's nothing but screams and crocodile tears.

Here are some pictures of Miss Presley in her first Easter dress. We made it through church with hardly any drama and then enjoyed a great lunch with friends. Jon and I should appreciate the fact that this is the only Easter that we won't have to play the Easter bunny. Next year it's baskets, eggs and candy...actually, that sounds pretty fun!

Since Presley's cord came off yesterday, the next logical thing to do was to torture her with a real bath. As expected, she didn't enjoy the adventure.

cordless at last

Normally, I wouldn't be eager to blog about a body part falling off but this is a pretty big deal for Miss Presley. Finally, after almost 5 weeks, the cord stump has fallen OFF. I knew the cord was going to be an issue for me. I found it pretty gross and timidly cleaned it with alcohol every time I changed her diaper. Jon called me out on my delicate technique and finally convinced me to get down and dirty with the cotton swab. I am slightly ashamed that it took almost 5 weeks but the dead is done and we can now share lots of full frontal naked pictures of our cordless daughter.

The only thing on her playmat she was interested in was the mirror.

Presley, you're so vain.

Tummy time with daddy.

At the community Easter egg hunt.
Don't worry, I only picked up two eggs for her so no children were denied their loot.

Also, I am not sporting new bangs, that's just the work of the west Texas winds.

mine or yours

Everyone seems to agree that Presley looks a lot like Jon. Here is a baby picture of each of us for those yet undecided.
