Firsts



Rhianna's umbilical cord finally fell off yesterday afternoon so we were able to get some more firsts in this weekend. She had her first tummy time yesterday evening. She laid there so calm for a really long time. I don't think I have ever seen a little baby so calm during tummy time ever. They usually don't like it much.

This morning we gave her the first real bath. She has just had little sponge baths before now. She wasn't very happy with them. I don't know why Elaina doesn't look happy in the picture. She was never crying. I think she was imitating her sister's face. It is a funny picture though. Keira helped me bath her and put lotion on her. My two older girls have never really cared about baby massages, they either cried or wiggled around until I stopped but Rhianna totally zones out if I message her legs or feet. It is insane how well it works. Last night she was screaming hard (I think she had a gas bubble that would not go away) and I undressed her and started massaging her legs and she immediately stopped crying and zoned out. I hope this trick lasts!!
