Tonight when John and I were giving Fiona her bath, she discovered splashing with her hands. Up until now, she’s splashed by kicking, but never just with her hands. She was playing with her little Turtle pal, and she dropped him and started hitting the water with one hand. Then she started with her other hand. Soon, she was splashing with both hands. It was like a light bulb went on. Here is a photo of her in the bath. I LOVE this photo. I think it is the cutest picture of her to date:
She looks so modest, and she is cuddling the turtle.
On an unrelated note, she now has two teeth and it looks like more are on their way. She is drooling buckets and chewing on everything. She also likes to take the diapers out of their holder and chew on them during diaper changes. I moved the organizer out of her way and she still tries to get at whatever is behind her. Now we placed a book for her to chew on. I told John that doing this we are encouraging her early to read on the toilet.
Today we went downtown with my dad. We went to Palermo, Red Brick Gallery, and then the Taj Cafe for lunch. Lunch was pleasant, and then who should sit down at the table next to us but my friend and co-worker Craig! John and I have shared more than one bottle of wine with Craig and his wife Tamara. We chatted a bit before Fiona got very tired and I had to leave. Sigh. Such is the life of a parent with a small baby. As we were walking to the car I saw another co-worker, Ladonna, who lives around the corner from my parents house. I guess it was my lucky day!
On the way home Fiona fell asleep in the car and I drove around for over an hour while she slept. I’m pretty sure I swore at one point that I would never do that. Ha!
