Last night was a bath night for Mady. For a while there she absolutely hated baths! At first it was because they were sponge baths, since she couldn't be in the tub with her umbilical stump. Then, when we finally got her in the tub, she hated it because she was pretty much suspended over the water and was just being splashed, so i think she was cold. So the past 2 baths, i made an executive decision...i decided to take her off the newborn sling thing and put her right in her baby tub. Of course, i hold her up so she doesn't fall in the tub and drown, but she sits pretty well on her own. She has really taken to this. She doesn't cry near as much, only when we lift her a bit out of the tub to wash her back or the back of her hair. She just kinda sits there...i'm trying to teach her to splash around, but i think that's a ways away yet. At least we've cleared the "screaming your guts out until you are red in the face and can't breath" hurdle.
Madylinn also likes to stare at the ceiling fan in the computer room, or at least in that area. I'm not sure what she sees, but i know she isn't just staring randomly. Yesterday i noticed her staring when i was standing by the rocker, so i decided to test my theory and see if it was coincidence or what. I started walking toward the dining room, and she stayed staring at the ceiling fan, like there was something (or someone) there. I'm convinced it's not just random, and she's looking at someone or something that is there. I keep telling her it's her guardian angle, and to tell them she loves them. She just coos when i say that. It's really cute to see!
She has also taken to her swing. Sometimes she really just wants to be in my arms and she won't take no for an answer, but sometimes she will relax in her swing for about 15-30min. It's very refreshing, as i can get dressed or eat lunch in that time and i don't have to be holding her. I just have to have the rock on a higher level. She just looks around and stares. I have to make sure she's strapped in all the time though, she is definately a wiggler. Everyone watch out when she learns to crawl...which i don't think will be much longer with the way she moves and groves.

That is so cute about her looking at her guardian angel. Kaden does the same thing and sometimes he smiles at nothing and I really think that he's seeing something or someone we cant.
