Look what DADDY Did!



Isn't he the best babysitter EVER!? He is lucky that she doesn't mind things on her head. What a cutie. What are some funny things that your hubbys did while they were babysitting?

First time in the BIG BATH





We have been bathing Zuki in her infant bathtub for a long time. Last week she started twisting around so she could sit in a way that she could splash around, and it made it hard to wash her, so we do baths in the big tub now. She is loving every minute of it, splashing and trying to slide all over the place. She has face planted a couple of times, it scared me to death, but we keep a hold on her the whole time, and she cries when bathtime is over. I am finding that 10 to 15 minute baths makes her very tired, and she goes down easier and is staying asleep longer...hopefully soon she will be sleeping through the night...still waiting.

Holy Cow, It's OCTOBER!



Sorry I haven't been keeping up! Life has been moving fast (but very slowly) for us. I feel like my days are running together, it's always sunday for me. Yesterday was Stake Conference, and I totally didn't know about it. (I am always in the Mother's Room at the beginning of Relief Society, and I never know what it going on). Church usually starts at 1:30 and my friend called me at 9:30 to see if wanted to sit by her and her husband for conference. What?! needless to say, I had Zuki and I ready in 30 minutes and in a seat halfway through the opening hymn! I am lucky our church is right across the street!!! These pictures were about a month ago...I am not sure where the recent ones are. They might be on Mo's hard drive. I will post more when I find the recent ones! Thanks for being patient with me, especially Anna and my mom and Dwynne. They've been bugging me to get going again!

We had just picked zuki up from my friends house. We had gone to see Hancock. (Great movie by the way, but it had some language in it). Isn't it weird how much you want to get away from your kid for a few hours, but when you do, you feel like a piece of you is missing? I just wanted to hold her. Has any one else had this experience?


Mo thinks she looks like Hancock in his sun glasses. She held really still the whole time they were on her face. She didn't wiggle or make noise or even move her head. I have never seen a baby do that before.

Thank You!

Thanks to all the mothers who gave me advice for tummy time! I am so glad I am not alone in the mothering/trying to learn world! I eventually tried putting her on a familiar blanket on the couch, (don't worry, I was right there the whole time!). She likes to see things, so I thought if I put her higher, she might be okay. She does this for ten minutes at a time. YAY!

Our Fourth

For this fourth of July, we decided to expand our group. Usually, we only go with one other couple, but this time there were five couples, and one single girl. It was so much fun. The boys barbequed for us, and we just relaxed the whole day.


Mo Designed this shirt for Zuki. Totally cute.
So, How cute is this? I don't think either one of them had seen a baby of a different color. They stared at each other for a long time. He started trying to grab her after a while. SO CUTE.

Tummy Time Woes



How cute are these!!!??? She's in her boppy pillow...she doesn't like tummy time; she always starts crying so hard after a few seconds that her legs and arms go up, and she face plants into the blanket on the floor, so I tried putting her in the pillow, but she just slides down before she gets any good exercise. Mommies out there, do you have any advice for tummy time??
