Bath Time

We have known for a while that Natalie loves to have her hair washed. When she was getting sponge baths, we washed her hair under the faucet and she would arch her back and lean back into the water. She loves it so much, when she gets really upset, we sometimes use it as a trick to to calm her down and make her stop crying. Now that the last of her umbilical cord has fallen off, she can take regular baths in her baby bath-tub, and she loves that just as much. Here's a couple of pictures from her first real baths. Notice that Ally is still always right in the middle of the action.

A Trip to the Gardens

Since the the weather was so nice this weekend, we took Natalie to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens for a walk and to take some pictures. It made for a great opportunity to try out her fancy jogging stroller, since we have only really used it walking around the neighborhood. We walked around for about an hour before she decided it was time for lunch. When we tried to see a little more after that, she decide that a nap would be more interesting. A lot of the flowers are just starting to bloom, so I think we will try and make another trip in the next couple of weeks to take some more pictures.
