The Schrader Project

042310 ~ This Friday was a very busy day! Zoey and I attended MOPS, which I haven't been to in a couple of months. We had such a good time visiting with all our friends! And, we got to play hot potato baby because there was another newborn there; Leia brought baby Tully...he's a doll! She had him in his pirate BabyLegs...sooo cute!

After MOPS, we took Zoey back to the doc to double-check the little rash she has. The doc wants us to wash her in Selsun Blue twice a week for two weeks to help with the dry skin. Poor little girl. I don't think she's got sensitive skin as bad as Bryan, but newborn skin is sensitive enough on its own...so who knows. It seemed like the bumps would clear up but leave behind a yellowish crust like pus, so that's why we took her in. Nothing to worry about...just have to do the bathing thing. I also keep baby oil on her scalp so if there are flakes, they don't fall on her skin; that can cause it to spread. I've been using California Baby Calendula Cream, and my friend, Leia, gave me some Angel Baby cream for rashes. I think it just seems worse to me and Bryan than it actually is! LOL

After the doc visit, we had just enough time to run home, replenish the diaper bag, eat dinner, and head to the VFW post for a friend's going-away and Follies night. They used to hold Follies at the Cactus Cafe on post, but they were ripping them off...so they changed to the VFW post. And I bet those old-timers LOVE having these young guys in their establishment once a month! I admit...I felt a bit ghetto bringing my baby to a bar. But, two things: First, it was outside. I would never subject a kid to a building full of smoke. Second, she was snoozing and had a full tummy and a clean diaper...and had no idea where she was! lol As a bonus, we know everyone there, so they all understand. Bryan and I were laughing, actually, reminiscing about our childhoods and how we both had grown up in VFW posts and Eagles lodges... Ahhh, the days of entertaining yourself and your sibling with an Atari, darts, a deck of cards, and a stack of quarters for the video games.

We all slept well that night!

We love this nightie: it has a zipper! 042210

She will start off resting with her head high on your chest...then she'll shimmy her way down into this position. 042110

We went to a little hole-in-the-wall chicken joint by our house to check it out. It's rare for us to eat out, but we were both just in the mood to get out of the house. Food was great! Reminded me of Texas... Here's what Zoey did while we chowed...lol Aunt Sarah gave her the monkey. 042110

"So...three babies crawl into a bar..." Miss Moon chatting away to Mrs. Flower and Miss Butterfly. Must be telling a joke she learned at the VFW...hehehe 042110
