Second Day Together






We are having another great day with Jenya! Even though I didn't sleep more than an hour last night. At least Jenya got a good 9 1/2 hours in! I hope she continues this once we're home. Today we took a long walk around the city until both Jenya and Tyler fell asleep. My mom, Catherine and I were wishing we could be pushed around in a stroller too, it must be so soothing for them.
Last night Jenya got her first bath and she loved it! I was so worried she would be scared of bath time because she isn't accustomed to being bathed that way. Usually they stand the babies up in a sink and hose them down with a sink sprayer. But she had a fabulous time, and I didn't even have any bath toys to give her! I wish we had captured some pictures, but my mom was busy videotaping it, so at least Rick can see her first bath when we get home :)
Italian food tonight- we can't go wrong with that!

  1. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this blog.
    Now the tears start to flow again. It is going to be hard for you to sleep, with the time change. But now you will be running on pure adrenalin.
    I can not believe Jenya has never been in a tub. By the sound of things, U & Rick WILL be having a lot of firsts.
    My best to Catherine & Tyler.

  6. Love the middle picture, like she is saying "I do like my Mommy does!" Saw your response to my last post, how great that she is officially yours forever! Just wait until she sees her room and her new home, so much to explore!

    PS has she seen a dog or cat before?
