wow, has time flown by. I woke up just before 6:54am today and watched the clock tick to her actual birth time. I couldn't believe how many memories of her labor flooded back to me. She finally woke up around 8, and we snuggled, and I nursed her for the last time (9:10am). Jonathan came in and we sang Happy Birthday to her a few times; she seemed to enjoy that. He also brought in a bunch of bathtub cars and roads (that stick to the walls), and Elise chewed on them, offering them to me -- mouth-to-mouth. So funny.
He got himself dressed completely by himself this morning. I mean, he pulled open the drawers, picked out an outfit (blue sweats/red polo), and got it all on alone. I only realized what he had done when he went to the bathroom and had TWO pairs of underwear on. He's left them both on all day, refusing to take one off!
It's a crummy day, raining off and on all day! We made it to the ice cream store, though, to follow our birthday tradition! We all shared a 'birthday cake ice cream' with rainbow sprinkled. I had intentions of trying a new museum out, but with the rains and a sleeping babe, we'll have to try again another day.
While the little lady slept (11:30-3), Jonathan and I made a new playmat out of his ghost Halloween costume. I sewed blue felt into the face hole, making a lake. Now we just need to find paint for some roads. He put his train trees up as a forest and then mixed in Playmobile, Lego, and trains. I also have him some kitchen items (corks, chopsticks, etc) to use his imagination.

I thought of the cheekmunk who delayed my journey one year ago, too.
