Second Sail

We took Yemaya for her second sail on our friend Craig's catamaran (but this time we remembered the camera).  We even put Yemaya in her life jacket for some of the sail (it fits now!).  She hated it, and she and I mostly stayed inside anyway.  We had a grand time!

Yemaya likes sailing upwind best for sleeping because the conditions are more bumpy and bouncy.  Downwind is too calm for really good sleeping.

I'm sure all the grandparents will be glad to know that we have not taken her out on a more adventurous little boat sail yet.  Soon maybe.

Speaking of cute hats...

Look at the cute hat that Yemaya's Nana sent.

Cute hat

Look at the cute hat with a Y my friend Mike's daughter Kaitlyn made.
It is too small, but will be great for her dolls. Kaitlyn made tons
of hats and is donating them to the hospital. How cool!

By popular demand

So here it is, our baby blog.  For all our friends and family without facebook you can now see all the too cute photos that I take with my iPhone.  And don't forget the videos I have made of her smiling and cooing.  I don't want any of you to continue to miss out.
Plus I have discovered that as a stay at home mom I have quite a bit of down time while my wonderful daughter takes a nap.  And since my knitting project is boring me and I don't have any good books to read right now (although I am taking suggestions of light reads) I might as well start a blog.

Here are some examples of the cute pictures you non-facebookers may have missed in the past month.

We went swimming

In hopes that our daughter will love the water and learn to swim we took her in the pool at the hotel during our varnish-moon (This is when we are having work done on the boat and I get to stay in a hotel with hot running water and cable TV, like a honeymoon from the boat). She showed absolutely no reaction to being in the water. She did not cry, scream or make a sound, but she also did not smile, stick out her tongue or seem at all amused.
In addition, the little girls in the pool thought she was a boy due to her boy like swim diaper with alligators on it. Thanks for the buying advice Rebecca!
