Test Drive

Here's Helen taking a test drive in her new super economical, super snappy stow-and-go umbrella stroller. It's amazing the ridiculous amount of time one can spend picking out such an item. The gnashing of teeth, the wringing of hands, the in-store arguments with the significant other over the shortfalls of one cheap stroller vs. the others we saw at 2 other discount retailers. D won this equipment argument. I thought she would be slumped over and cut in half like a sack of rice in it. She's completely fine, obviously. We did several loops around the apartment tonight and she really liked it! I can't wait to take her out for a walk in it. It's going to be 70 degrees here tomorrow! Woo hoo!
Here's Helen playing with the cool wooden clickety clackety ball Aunt Jane got for her. Her little fingers are almost ready to spend lots of quality time with it. It makes really satisfying clicky sounds.
We really love bath time. Waking up and going to bed are the best - she is so cute and happy during both times (except when she wakes up howling 1 hour after going to bed, which she's been trying out more and more). Thank goodness for binkies.

At our house, waking up howling always means "burp me". This little girl would rather sleep thn burp and it usually comes back to haunt us. Helen looks so cute and happy!!
