Today is Zuzu’s first May Day. Last evening our doorbell rang and upon opening it, we discovered a lovely petunia on our front step with a note sending neighborly May Day wishes to the Coleman family. Next to a smiley face was written “nice baby”. Today perched upon the front step was a cup with May Day goodies that said “Zuzu” on it. What wonderful surprises (and it’s been just as much fun to watch the neighborhood kids dart across lawns to deliver their May Day greetings).
Today is also Zuzu’s one month birthday. We’re celebrating it by -- well, let’s see, um -- nursing, diaper changes, yawns, cries, nursing, nursing and why yes, nursing (hopefully there are a couple of naps somewhere in there too). It’s hard to believe a whole month has gone by already. She’s accomplished and experienced quite a bit in just a month’s time: she’s already had over 230 diaper changes in her lifetime (yes, we’ve kept track); she can hold her head up much more these days; she’s grown and gained weight just like she should; she’s napped in her crib twice (yesterday and today); she’s only had one really big “accident” in the baby tub (I won’t go into detail – after all, we’re trying to keep it clean on her blog); she’s smiled more times than we can count; she’s felt the softness of a crabapple blossom brush against her cheek; and she’s managed to wriggle onto her side in her sleep three times.
As I type this she is snuggled in the crook of my left arm trying to eat her wrist as she snoozes..
