Hey folks...How's everybody doing? We're still not getting any sleep on this end. Alayna's beginning to have a tendency of sleeping all day and raising a ruckus at night - she hates her cradle with a passion, and Kristina and I are lucky if we can wrangle 3 hours of sleep at a time.
<- This picture, I believe, speaks for itself.
Anyway, we decided to give Alayna her first bath on Friday, as it had been a few days since coming home from the super-sterile hospital and all. This fiasco probably could've gone over a lot better.
Kris assumes that the water was too cold, but I like to think that we just have one, stinky-ass baby who hates being clean and would rather gas up the house in her own filth instead of taking a bath like a civilized human being. That's just me, though.

Bathing aside, things are beginning to settle down (slightly) around here. Fezzig's not enjoying the extra noise and commotion around the place, and we're pretty convinced he/she's already beginning to pick up and imitate the baby's wails. Not cool. Alayna's becoming a big fan of her Fisher Price 'Rainforest' gear and her Baby Einstein DVDs - holy crap, does music seems to knock her right out. If only this practice could be utilized at night... then we might be able to catch some shut-eye around this damn place.
In other news, we're getting ready to kick-off the Summer of Grandmas. Starting tomorrow, we'll be importing grandmas from Michigan to come stay with us for week-long stints of helping out with Alayna, the house, etc. Kristina's mom Marcy is coming in first - we're picking her up from the OIA sometime around 7pm, I think. Stay tuned.
F----n' Exhausted,
