Ahnika isn't picking, instead of crying because she can't reach her blanket to put in her mouth, she is perfectly content to just nah on her clothes....

Mom's Teachings
Ok I'll Admit It.....
Recognizing the Signs that Your Baby Makes....
Baby Weight Update
It's official, our baby girl is getting to be a Chunky Monkey.... We took her in on her 1 month birthday and Ahnika weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ounces (almost 2 pounds over her birth weight).
Knowing this, really helped me and Jaci sleep better at night. We were worried that we had screwed up the job of, when baby cries, feed her, but apparently we've got that down as she is gaining weight at a great rate...

WRITERS STRIKE IS OVER, MORE AHNIKA PICS POSTED
The writer of this blog was on strike, demanding better benefits and more importantly, better working conditions.... Additionally, during the past month, the writer has been subjected to various forms of chinese torture. Those forms included being defacated on in the early morning hours, forced to wake up at all hours of the morning for anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours at a time, having someone turn on the sound of a screaming baby everytime you finally drift into REM sleep and I could go on and on.
Fortunately, Jaci taught me how to change a diaper to prevent getting pooped and/or peed on and started letting me sleep on the couch when Ahnika wakes up after midnight so I get at least 5 hours of sleep a night, so I stopped complaining and thanked my good fortunates of having a loving, caring wife....
Ok, on to the good stuff. Random pictures of the worlds cutest baby girl (with a few naratative comments here and there):

With the exception of the one blind dude that we polled, everyone else agrees that we have a beautiful baby... Now the natural question is, who does Ahnika get her stunning good looks from. Do they come from her gorgeous mamma, or......

Life Outside of Baby
Just a couple of pictures to let you guys know there is more to life than just Ahnika for Jaci and myself right now (not very much, but something is better than nothing).....
Sunday mornings, Jaci and I get up and go out and read the Sunday newspaper on our back covered patio (I read the paper, Jaci clips coupons & Ahnika, so far, just likes to make odd noises)....
Last week, we had quite a few thunderstorms that came through the area, bringing heavy rains (amongst other things - got to spend 1 1/2 hours in a designated "safe" zone at work due to Tornados in the area), anyways, the heavy rain washed away alot of dirt and mulch in a flower bed on the side of the house (on a pretty good slope).
Rather than replace the lost dirt and mulch (since they would inevitably wash away again), I decided to put down rock in the flower bed and only use mulch around the base of the plants).
Initially, I thought the project would be pretty easy as I laid out the weedfabric around the plants. But when I realized that one truck load of rock wasn't nearly enough, I realized that my project budget was going to increase in magnitude.
The picture below was taken by Jaci after I had put down 1 truck load of rock (looks alittle bare).

And in the next picture, I am hiding from Jaci as she is asking me where the rest of the rock is (hauling and unloading 1 truckload of rock yourself is alot of work, no way was I going back for more, especially since I needed about 4x as much more rock).
So I called the landscaping place and bit the bullet and had them deliver 2 cat scoops more of rock to the house (around 2 cubic yards of rock). Also, notice in the background, the beautiful, made from scratch cedar planter......... Pictures to come later on when the Jackson Perkins roses are blooming..

Ahnika's 1st Bath (No More Stinky Baby)
Ahnika was really starting to get stinky, so we couldn't wait any longer on her first bath. We had our fingers crossed that she would like them, and thankfully, she did (she would scream bloody murder when she was getting a sponge bath previously, so it was not a lot of fun).
The pictures below show our happy baby girl being bathed....
Jaci & I do not endorse child pornography, so some of the images below have been censored, our beautiful baby girl does not already have tatoos or weird birth marks that look like smily faces).

Beautiful Dancing Baby
Jaci had some "gangsta" music playing in the living room yesterday and Ahnika was "grooving" to it...... Scroll down through the pictures below quickly to watch our baby girl move it.....
