First Bath Today 1


Hey Lucas Walter!

An exciting day today! Your umbilical cord stump finally fell off and you were able to have your first bath!  Yay!   You seemed to like it.  In fact you felt so much at ease you peed all over the place.  It shot out of the bath and hit the backsplash in the kitchen.  At least you aimed it away from Mom & Dad!   And then when I was drying you off you pooped all over your clean towel.   It seems you are destined to be a dirty boy :)

 

Also, in more news we got your social security card in the mail today.  And silly as it may sound, it was exciting to see your name on the card…. Lucas Walter Atkinson!  

We’ve been working more on tummy time, and you’re still not really a fan, but your neck is getting stronger every time we practice.  Oh yeah, and last night you slept really well.   There were two 4-4.5 hour stretches- woo!   Although your Dad and I still check on you every hour to make sure you’re okay *sigh*.    Around 9:30-11:30pm  (give or take 30 minutes) is your witching hour.  You don’t scream, but you’re not happy either.  You don’t want to go to sleep, as hard as we may try.  So tonight, we’re just going to accept that fact, and not try to go to sleep until after that time.  Hopefully it will be easier on us that way.

    Hey guys!

    Lucas is adorable! Thanks so much for sharing. We can’t wait for him to meet our little McKinnley! We are working on trying to find a weekend to get up to Kentucky, though it might not be until December. If you are thinking about vacationing anytime feel free to come visit us in Atlanta, we have baby EVERYTHING here and plenty of space in our new house.

    Take care and can’t wait to see and read more, hopefully I’ll be inspired to create something similar for our little girl.

    Casey, Lindsey, McKinnley, and Lily Molenaar

    p.s. Looks like Will is getting some tummy time too, hopefully he enjoys it more!
