The Many Faces of Shirley Jean

She's a saver, not a spender.

Warning: this post contains poop.
My daughter poops MAYBE every third day. This was very stressful for me in her first months, but then the pediatritian told me that "Breastfed babies can do whatever they want."
So...we wait.
The problem with this, though, is that I never know when she's gonna...blow.

Halllllll-elujah!

Halllllll-elujah!

Halelujah!

Halelujah!

Ha-layyyy-lujah!

Nice Shoes, Baby!

I LOVE putting shoes on the baby. I think it's hilarious. I have a pair of Robeez with a white Pedro-dog on them from Grandma Brenda that I'm counting the days until they fit. (They fall off at this point.) So watch for that post. : )

Little Miss had a good night last night, and only got up once and then slept til 9am. Everyone at the Desvousges Household feels a lot better today. Thanks for your encouragement, friends.

For the Record

Sleeping in 45-minute stints over the course of 8-10 hours does not count as a good night's sleep.
We're going on day four of this 45-minute sleep cycle.
Sigh.

p.s. Before you recommend it, no, just letting her cry doesn't work. I mean, unless I want her to cry ALL. NIGHT. LONG.

Mr. & Mrs. Abrahamson

We had the honor of attending an old family friend's wedding this weekend. Here are some fun pictures from our weekend in LaCrosse.

Reading in the car on the road.

We decided to go swimming before the wedding. We are SO smart. Ugh.

She just LOVES the water!

Paul said that Hannah started "cracking one-liners" to keep him from crying.

I really felt honored to attend Hannah & Brian's wedding. I don't know that I've ever seen such a sweet and happy couple who are so focused on God. Best wishes to you both!

Goober.

Lauren possesses these secret skills that nobody knows about until you need, oh, say...a cake cutter.

Doggone it. I just wrote out this entire blog and discovered that it's on my baby blog by accident. Oh well...I'm not re-uploading all the photos!
