You haven't missed much


I know, I have been beyond delinquent about blogging. But these picture prove that you haven't missed much. First, lakeside with Cheerios, shades, and a smirk. Next, here we are, back at the Nordstrom shoe department lusting after a balloon, this time armed with Cheerios. Cheerios are basically the reason I can go out in public with Helena, fearlessly. Thank you Mr. Cheerio.

Firsts

Firsts are funny with babies. Everyone gets all riled up about all sorts of firsts and the truth is that the most memorable ones are the most ridiculous.

For example, I can't exactly recall the first smile, the first wave or the first 'mama' but I absolutely remember the first time Helena pooped in the tub. Because it was yesterday.

The bath went great until right about the time I went for the last scrub which is, well you know, the privates (doesn't that seem like a lewd descriptor?) at which time I discovered the stuff, shall we say.

Helena thought it was hilarious. I wrapped her up in a towel and Daddy saved the day by walking in the door right on cue. He held the little bundle while I scrubbed down the tub and re-dipped for sanitation purposes.

She was squeeky clean until today at lunch when she decided to pretend she was washing her hair with her grubby little fingers. Back to the tub...

Helena loves balloons


We all have our vices. Helena's vice is her unrequited love for all things balloon. Pictures of balloons, balloons from a distance, and best of all balloons up close and personal. She tries to snuggle with the balloons, she points and yaks at the balloons, she is a bona fide balloon fanatic.

Here she is in the Nordies' children's shoe section where they brilliantly dole out balloons upon purchasing their pricey designer kicks. She's got the right idea- take Daddy to the shoe department.
