Meeting the Godparents!

Paula has now met both of her Godparents and loves each of them! She hopes that they stop by to visit her often, as Aunt Kristen likes to cuddle her and Uncle Jim enjoys making her giggle.

Here are two pictures of Paula with her Aunt Kristen. The first one was taken the first week that Paula was home. Aunt Kristen was feeding her lunch in that photo and Paula is wearing her "I Love My Aunt" bib in the photo. For those that don't know, that is Paula's Grandma (Jennie's Mom), holding Paula while Kristen feeds her. The next photo was taken last week, when Kristen came by to visit Paula and her Mommy. Paula is wearing one of the outfits that Aunt Kristen gave her in that photo. Paula loves the outfit and looks adorable in it and Mommy loves the outfit too, because it is easy to change her when she wears it! Paula is so comfortable with Kristen that she fell asleep on her shoulder in the middle of Kristen's visit.





Here's a photo of Paula with her Godfather, Uncle Jim and the Dolly that he gave Paula. She loves her dolly and gave it a hug the minute she received it and she sleeps with her Dolly every night. Paula also was able to see Uncle Jim on Sunday when he came to pick up her Daddy to go to the Jets Game. Mommy didn't have her camera ready that morning, but will get more pictures of Paula and Uncle Jim soon!

Bath Time Changes

It's been a little over 2 weeks since we brought our little doll home from Guatemala and we both think she is adjusting very nicely. She has even made improvements on the areas that she wasn't doing well in. Something she disliked until recently was bath time. She really HATED this and would scream bloody murder whenever it was time for her bath. All she had to do was hear the faucet turn on, and she would begin crying hysterically.

As of last week, she's finally happy in the bathtub. It took some time, but I think she finally realizes that she is safe and that she can have fun in the bath. My mom has taught her to splash "Paula, do Plop Plop" and now she really enjoys getting all of us wet! She loves her rubber duckies (yes she has more than 1!), loves it when we sing to her while in the tub, and loves her blue hippo too!

The first 2 photos I've included are taken when we visited Paula back in February, when she was almost 3 1/2 months old. The next two were taken during our Pick Up trip a few weeks ago and then the next few are at my moms house, wearing her ducky towel that Nanny bought for Paula, still not happy that she had to take a bath, and then the rest are of Paula playing in the tub. There are two photos I love...the one where she's "saying" wash my back (her Grandma is doing that) and the other one where she's letting us know it's time to wash her hair!

Well it's late and I better shut the computer off now and get some sleep. I'll try and post more often to our blog, but please forgive me if i don't have a chance to post as often as I did in the past.

I hope you enjoyed the photos!
