First and foremost, today is the first day where Bug finally figured out how to open up her mouth to get a proper latch. Previously, Amelia would have to wait for Maria to start to scream. Generally, Bug's lips were held too tightly to attempt to get a decent latch. The net result is that she isn't screaming as much during each feeding, which is better for both mom and baby.
Today, twice Maria decided to pee while we were in the in between state of changing a diaper. I now change her diaper like a NASCAR pit crew. I have learned that speed matters, especially because I don't like having to clean up the mess.
Her second accident led to a Maria first. Bug got her first real bath today. She definitely liked it much more than the sponge baths that she was getting.
We celebrated Memorial day in the traditional way. My brother Tony cooked some burgers and our friends Mike and Angie came over to eat with us.
It has been a good day.
