Peanut loves the water. She never cries during her bath. Although she lets out tiny yelps and sometimes bawls loudly when we start taking her clothes off, she calms down instantly the moment we slowly dunk her in the warm water of her bath tub. May be she relates it to her once uterine home and the amniotic fluid she was floating in. She becomes quiet and seems to enjoy every minute of her bath time without even a whimper.
She hates the diaper changing time. Or to be precise, hates the cold wet wipes. The moment A takes her to the changing table and starts unbuttoning her sleeper, she starts screaming so loudly that I fear it might sometimes wake up the dead.
Her ears are so sharp (touch wood) that even the drop of a pin or the rustle of a blanket can cause her teeny tiny eyes to open and look around as if saying, "What was that? I am trying to sleep here!" A and I only communicate in whispers. He calls my mobile these days as the sound of the land line ringing can wake up the sleepy head.
At 5 pm, we give her a bath, apply some baby oil on her, splash some powder, comb her soft hair with a brush, put fresh diaper on and doll her up in her onesie, after which she is all set to greet her tired dad as he trudges into the house, while a goo laden, tired mommy with sweat dribbling from her forehead longs to get into the shower.
Not even a month old and her wardrobe is getting bigger than mine. She is a proud owner of half a dozen sleepers, eight onesies, half a dozen dresses, a few hats, mitts and booties. Oh, and the hair accessories! Plus the playard and bouncer from her grandparents, tons of clothes from Then aunty, Disney princess bath tub from Pooja aunty and boat loads of blankets and clothes from A's friends.
When she is awake and not feeding, she wants to suckle all the time. Pacifier is avoided at all times except when she throws a crying fit during diaper change. She loves to snuggle into me and keep suckling until she nods off. She likes dad's belly much better than her crib ;-)
Her cheeks are getting juicier and A wants to put it between two slices of bread and wolf it down. Now, I have to keep an eye out!
