One Month And Screaming Strong

Casandra is one month old today.  It seems like only three days ago we were celebrating her being four weeks old.

You look'in at me?

Ah, Cuteness...

Cassandra decided to be more cooperative today.  Mommy was able to get this picture of the little one on the floor for tummy time.  I love it when I see her smile.


 Here is Cassandra trying on another outfit.  She has two outfits with these animals on them; one a sleep sack and one for looking good when out and about.


I think she looks odd without a hat.  People say I look really weird without glasses so I guess it's just a matter of what you are used to.  (Please, no comments from the peanut gallery.)

Short Attention Span

Cassandra is four weeks old today.  We tried to get some good pictures of her.  <sigh>  This is the only one where she is awake and either doesn't look drunk or like she has been crying.  It would be nice if the cuteness wasn't so transitory.

Friendly Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Wendel dropped by tonight with great news.  Uncle Greg will be making an appearance in town the first weekend in February.  This is also the weekend of the pancake breakfast for Andy and Greg's old scout troop.  Greg has already claimed he will again eat at least a dozen pancakes.  Cassandra showed no interest in pancakes which just proves that she is still in the larval stage (or they sent us home with the wrong kid).




 You may note that Grandpa is wearing the same thing in this picture as the one above, yet Cassandra isn't.  That is how traumatic a diaper changing is.  Cassandra demanded a new outfit and I'm not arguing with her.  (Read that as she is louder than me and either has never had a sore throat, or doesn't care.  My poor ears are still suffering from her displeasure with her bath this afternoon.)

Something Blue...

Cousin Sharon has been kind enough to send a multi-mode baby chair for Cassandra to enjoy.  It's modes include stationary, massage and automatic rocking.  It also incorporates the latest safety features including a three point baby restrain and a brightly colored, professionally decorated anti-roll bar.

(Hey, the chair looks seaworthy.  Therefore, it is the starboard side, not the right side.)

Feeding Time

Here is my attempt to feed Cassandra for the first time.  She was rather disappointed at how fast it went.
