Magnolia Hepburn

We finally found something in black that was baby-size. Les was so excited to have somthing black so that he didn't have to have her in pink, and what does he do the first time he dresses her in tehe black shirt....puts it under pink overalls. :) Come to the dark side Dad....give over to the pink!
And then there's a picture of Magnolia with her arm around her new best friend.

Taste the Rainbow

For all those relative who like to buy baby clothes, let it be known that when Dad dresses the baby, he likes to dress her up like a bag of Skittles. The more bright colors the better....and black. (!?!)

First Smiles at Dad

Magnolia smiled at her dad this morning for the first time, and I caught some of them on camera!

New visitors and eccentric hats

Vivian came over today to read Magnolia a book she had bought for her. She was a little squirmy, but I think she liked being read to. I also have a few pictures of some of her hats. The Hershey's kiss one was made by Steve's wife Heather.

Shopping malls, smiles, and the hovel that is our apartment.

Well, our apartment is in such shambles that I can't find the digital camera to snap a picture of Mags. Actually that's not entirely true; the living room looks beautiful since I just cleaned and rearranged it, but I can't really find the rest of the place.

Magnolia has been quite out of sorts lately, and although she's sleeping for long stretches in the night time, it has been replaced with crying from about 5-11 in the evening. At least I have energy to deal with it. I'm assuming it's just some kind of colic, but I think I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow (she's been running a fever with diarrea since Sunday.) I discovered that I could get a few minutes of break from her crying by putting her on the dryer, so I actually got almost all the laundry done tonight.

I finally made it to the library today. I've been trying since Saturday. I've come to the conclusion that thus far Magnolia is opposed to me visiting the library. She probably has been informed of my track record of fines by her father, and fears it might affect her supply of diapers. :) We've tried to go in the past, and she screams as soon as we get in. Today though she gave me a whopping 10 minutes. Hey I'll take it though.

She's started smiling. The first one was last Saturday, and they've occured almost every day since. It just makes your heart melt, and reminds you why you don't throw her in a snow bank when you're dealing with crying for 4 or 5 hours.

We went to the mall today to get pictures developed, and I had an hour to kill, so I walked around the department stores. It definitely was a different experience pushing a stroller the size of a Hummer. I had to laugh when I didn't even know where the kids section was in most of the stores. I do now though. :)

Until next time, when I hope to be able to put more pictures on here.

Magnolia's Visitors

Haven and Tara came over to see Magnolia yesterday.

More Sleeping Pictures

She slept really well last night and today, and if I wouldn't have insomnia last night (I laid in bed for about 3 and a half hours while she slept not being able to go to sleep) I would feel great. Not much else to report. I have a few girlfriends coming over to see her tomorrow, and then Les is taking her to rehearsal for the evening so mom can have a night off! Yay!

I Found a Little Teddy Bear

Happy New Year

OK, so this was the picture I was hoping to catch of her sleeping with her arms sticking straight out. We rang in the New Year with Chris C. last night, but Magnolia slept right through it. She doesn't do to much right now, so I feel like I keep posting the same picture, just in different outfits. The second pic is of her in her daddy's old blankie.
