First Bath

The great thing about a new baby is that there are a lot of "firsts"; this weekend was the first bath, which was really exciting for all of us :-) There was a little hammock for the mini-tub so she wouldn't drown, which was assuring for mom... And the sea turtle that functions as a thermometer made sure that the water was the right temperature, it beeps otherwise. Anouk kinda liked it at first, but then decided that dirty is better than wet..... and started crying like there is no tomorrow. The frog towel afterward felt great though.


We also drove down to Santa Cruz to meet up with Ross, Roxanne and John, who were doing a race the next day. Our first (!) road trip went well, although the traffic jam messed up the feeding schedule, much to Anouk's disliking. But she had fun walking around, we went up to the lighthouse, and we even saw a whale really close to the coast, very cool.


That night, she was not letting us sleep though :-( But she has slept through 2 nights so far, giving Sabine 5-6 hours at night, which is really awesome.

Here are some more random happy and not-so-happy pictures (in her pink outfit!):
