Welllllll we only made it in the new dress for an hour, but thanks cousin Ashlynn! Just don't take it personally when she pooped all up on her dress the first 10 minutes of church. She started getting fussy during the sacrament after the bread was passed. We left before the water came.
I must admit Mr Smith had to tell me to calm down a couple of times... it's just that I didn't want to have to change the biggest blow out of the year - by myself. Where do you change a baby with poop all over her? In Eric's defense, our only choice really was the women's bathroom which he wouldn't step foot in. I really just didn't know what to do. I should have cut that onesie off. It made it all the way up the back of her neck! So once my wipes were all gone & I realized the poop smell wasn't going anywhere especially since the car seat was dirty too; I told Eric we were going home, especially since we live 5 blocks away (which I love). We gave her a bath. As soon as I took her out she threw up on me. Mr Smith insisted I just needed to learn how to laugh. I guess that part was funny, but not the poop. He wasn't there (which I kept reminding him - it was SO SO gross).
So any way, we wore a 2nd dress and were invited over by a family in the ward for lunch. The new ward is so friendly! Even in little Hickory, the church is thriving. But back to the story - she was passed around & then I was told she was due for a change. Love being told that. And to my dismay, she pooped up the front this time. That little girl! She saves it for the best of times.
Luckily nothing trumps the first. My sweet, little, cute girl. You'd never know what comes out of her butt! Luckily, I never have time to take a picture. I'm too worried she'll touch it with her hands and lick her hands, since that's her favorite habit these days. I think she is teething? Either way, lots of drool & biting of things even when she isn't hungry.
I still wish we had some sort of schedule, but I feel like she's still too young. Maybe 4 months? You tell me. It's easy just to listen to what Lexi wants since she speaks the loudest sometimes. She is still really good & smiley - as long as I feed her on demand & keep her preoccupied. Mommy can even get her to giggle which is seriously the best part of parenting! She loves new things, the mirror (oh gosh) & being outside. I just hate being outside when it's 90 degrees! So ready for the fall. We're excited to get to know the area better & what hikes are good with the babe.
Oh! more good news. Eric learned how to take the lawnmower apart all by himself. He was hoping he wouldn't have to, but it really needed some TLC. And new spark plugs. We prayed it would work and wala! The 15 inches of grass was finally cut (it rains a ton)! It only took Eric 4 hours to actually cut it because he had to dump the bag so much. He is such a hard worker! Lexi & I watched from the sidelines. We're lazy.

This is the link to the House For Sale (which we are just renting) if you are interested. Much bigger than the 3 of us so the front room doesn't have much in it, BUT we're all moved in! home sweet home until someone buys it! So come visit soon! we just got Netflix ;)
oh my goodness, what a beautiful house. I remember there were times with Addi when I didn't even bother to attempt to use baby wipes. I simply started the bath and held her under the faucet to get all the poo off of her back! You'll love these posts in a couple years when you are thinking back about her as a newborn :)
