Scout's Dedication
Monday, August 27, 2007
Ack! I just can't get into the swing of things with blogging for some reason. And I feel like when I do, my posts are really boring. Oh well. It's still fun to keep a "diary", even if I am sort of half-assed about it and it is just for my own enjoyment.
My house is clean. Gees, I feel like a brand new person when my house is in order. I'm gonna try hard to keep it this way. I just brewed some yummy organic decaf coffee and I'm trying to resist the urge to eat a piece of leftover chocolate cake I made for Scout's baby dedication yesterday. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm not TRYING to resist anything....I know darn well that after I type this post, I am going to go in the kitchen and get some cake! Scout is sitting in her little baby chair thingy squealing and being cute.
**30 min time elapse**
I got up and ate some leftover rigatoni and chocolate cake. Scout got bored in her chair, so I picked her up and vacuumed the living room while holding her. She doesn't mind the actual noise of the vacuum once it's running, but it startled her when I turned it on. I just smiled and hugged her and made some silly faces and talked to her in a cheerful tone for a minute and she calmed right down. I think my happy nonchalant reaction diffused her tears. Already at 4 months, I can see that when she gets upset at something like that, if I have an "Oh poor baby" reaction and mimic her worried look as I am comforting her, she gets much more upset than when I just play it cool and smile at her and act happy.
I didn't get far with vacumming. I finished the living room and Scout started her hungry cry, so I sat back down at the computer and now she's nursing and dozing off. I just noticed that her diaper is pretty damp and I don't have a cover over it, so I bet my jeans are getting wet. Oh well. And you know what? I probably won't change them, either. A little baby pee never hurt anything.
Here are some pics from her dedication at church yesterday:
DH's family came to church with us for the dedication and then we came back to our house for lunch. It was a nice day.

She looks gorgeous in her green dress, and I love that bib! I'm glad you had a nice day.
Hey, once you become a mother if all you get on yourself is a little baby pee then it's been a easy day. Just wait Scout gets her first cold and you turn into a human snot rag. :)
She is such a cutie!
Baby Power,
Wendy
