Splish Splash -- Hallie's First Bath

After the disgusting umbilical cord fell off, we gave Hallie her first bath!

She was a bit confused when we first put her in the bath, however, she loved being in the warm water. Hallie would have stayed in the bath forever had we let her.

She shivered and cried when we took her out of the water, but we were able to quickly wrap her in blankets. Since then, we have given her another formal bath.

Anne Geddes Who?

We were trying to get Hallie awake during the early evening to get her switched from sleeping in the night instead of during the day. She was so dead asleep and not responding to normal methods of trying to get her awake (taking off her clothes or moving her around) that we decided to spice things up a bit...

Hallie Elizabeth leaves the hospital

After getting home, Hallie got comfortable quickly with the new surroundings.

After four and a half days in the hospital, we left on Monday at noon. Packing and loading our little rascal in the car was very fun.

Our sleepy girl

Liz is doing much better today -- she is taking walks and going to the bathroom by herslef. Very impressive.

Hallie is being very good at 1.5 days old. She's sleeping about 90 percent of the time, but is very animated when awake.

My little Hal pal was so cute when she was born, squinty eyes and all.
