Baby is Heard From

Hello! My name is "Lumpkin-widget-walnut-yournicknamehere-ernst" and I am 16 weeks old. My family got to hear my heart beat this week, and my mommy was very releived that I actually was able to give her proof of my existance. (Just wait until I start jumping on her bladder and elbowing her in the kidneys, she'll look back at these quiet weeks and wish for peace!)

Well that's it for now... oh except Magnus: since when was "Dinner" and appropriate nickname for someone as cute as me?

ah the hair!

Zoe oh Zoe let down your hair!

All mothers want a blond curly haired girl right? That was what I wished for, thought it would be cute... and it is. It gorgeous! But here is the catch: we only wash zoe's hair twice a week Tops! Because the poor girl has to undergo shampoo & conditioner and detangle with brush, then rinse and comb out again, then brush out. And if that's not enough mommy either braids it to prevent tangles, or she puts it up in pony tails for the same reason. So it's seldom that Zoe gets to wear her hair down.

Well after a bath this time we tried something new: blow dry (which Zoe loves) and a bit of gel. And then mommy looks at her beautiful daughter and starts hollering to the dearest talented Daddy person: "Get out your camera! She's too cute to let this pass up!" It takes no effort to encourage Zoe into her favourite princess costume and less to get her to dance, jump and pose for her daddy. These are some of the results.
