Rub-a-Dub in the Duck Tub

Jessica had a fun filled week. We went on several walks by the bay plus our normal stroller strut in the mornings. In addition to the fun stuff, there was the unpleasantness of her second flu shot. We had to get two because they only gave her a half strength shot the first time. But, in true Jessica fashion, when the nurse put the needle in her leg she had a more confused, ticked off expression than a painful one. She took it like a champ and when about her day.

Jessica thought she'd try the baseball cap look after one of her walks. She pulls it off nicely.As anyone who knows Jessica will tell you, she loves baths. We've started giving her baths pretty much every night as part of her bedtime routine and it really helps to wind her down for the night.

You can see the relaxation written all over her face.

This is a great action shot depicting how she gets her legs going crazy and splashing everything in sight. No wonder she's worn out after her baths!
After the bath she is in a great mood so Joe always wants to snuggle with her.
But, of course it evolves into some wild and crazy game which is counterproductive to the calming down process. Oh well, as long as she keeps smiling.

I don't think it's possible for Joe to hold a baby without swinging them around over his head.

The picture of Joe calmly holding Jessica is very sweet. They both look quite happy.

Great blog, I enjoyed it a lot. What a happy Jessica. Glad you are getting some of those scenic walks now.

That shot of Daddy and Jessica at the end is Award-winning. Truly an awesome pic! I love seeing her happy plump little legs kicking in the tub. She is such a happy girl! Thank you for the treat :)

I was looking at Jessica's blog again and noticed from the bath pictures, she is getting more and more dark hair. Pretty soon she'll be wearing hair bows. Lady
