Taylor's Goin' Cordless!!!




Wow! That was fast! Taylor is officially cordless! It came as a total surprise on Monday, just hours before she was officially a full week old. It seemed too soon for me for my newborn to have a full-fledged belly-button. Where has the time gone? Anyone else thinking of the song, "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof? Surprisingly, Taylor was completely indifferent.
Well, I hope the pictures aren't too gruesome...yes, we have thrown out the shriveled umbilical cord, so no, you won't be seeing it in pictures again. :o)
Taylor also had her first opportunity to be a bathing beauty, with a baby-sized tub full of water. She loved it! (Don't all babies appreciate a real bath after being scrubbed down with just a wet washcloth a couple times, and no warm water to relax in?!! And we dare call that "a bath?")
Well, that's all for now--and a first for me! I'll try to keep up on this as well as Mark has, especially since he'll be going back to work before long (paternity leave is wonderful!).
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
Joy
