1 month old!!

First off, can anybody tell me where the past month went?? I absolutely cannot believe that it has gone by this fast! Our little Joselyn has had quite the month! So many visitors and one harrowing doctor visit! Well, it was probably more harrowing for mommy and daddy than it was for Joselyn. To clarify, Joselyn's umbilical cord stump had not yet fallen off, and I noticed a strong smell coming from it last Friday. I called the doctor, but of course missed office hours, so we were told to go to the pediatric emergency room because it could be infected and could not wait until Monday. So after a 4 hour wait, we saw the pediatrician, who removed the stump and found that she had an umbilical granuloma (when the tissue under the umbilical cord forms a little nodule... pretty common apparently) He treated it with silver nitrate...that's when the harrowing comes in. I had to hold her down for 15minutes, which was NOT OK, and she let us know it. I've never heard my baby cry like that, so I cried too. The treatment was not painful for her, it was the holding down that was the problem. ANYWHO... she now has a perfectly little belly button and only mommy and daddy will remember that awful day!

My little super hero, all tuckered out:)

Daddy trying out the moby. He was not too happy that I took these pictures, but he did not have a choice:)

TUMMY TIME! She likes being on her tummy, and is demonstrating how very strong she is. Already propping up on her elbows! She also demonstrated how strong she was by planting her feet and launching herself over the end of the boppy, which scared mommy a little, but nobody was hurt:)

This week, Abuela visited us and finally got to meet our sweet baby girl. Joselyn loved to sleep on her lap and got in lots of cuddle time.

This is just a funny picture. I went to check on her during a nap and I found her asleep like this:) Don't worry, the blanket isn't actually around her face, it just looks that way.

Daddy is getting very good at putting things together! This mess turned into a bouncy seat.

We will be taking Joselyn's picture every month on her quilt... This is Month 1.

She likes the hippo the best I think:)

This week, Joselyn FINALLY got her first real bath. We haven't been able to give her one since her umbilical cord hadn't fallen off yet. In true first-time parent form, we took TONS of pictures and a couple videos. She loved it. She just laid there and enjoyed the water... and of course she peed in it as soon as she got in. Even when she was shivering at the end, still no complaints:)

I love that she stuck her leg out and let it dangle in the water:) PS... Check out those thighs and tummy!

ALL DONE!!! YAY for a successful first bath!!!

Happy St Patrick's Day! (a little late... but these pictures were actually taken on the day)

As for the afore mentioned videos... I finally figured out how to get them on the computer, but downloaded so many that I have to wait a couple more days before it will let me download anymore onto vimeo. Then I will try to figure out how to post them... help from my sisters would be much appreciated!
