The Aftermath...and the Bath!

So after Sidney Kate ate plenty of yummy food at the reunion, got hot and rode backwards (like all babies do...2 or 20 rule) to a curvy destination she threw up all over herself, her car seat and my backseat. It was a horrible experience! Daddy was practicing softball and we were stuck in a curve with no car seat to go anywhere...poor baby! You know how she hates standing on grass...well she had to (barefooted!-southern term?) until I could get her cleaned up and boy was she upset! She was crying so very hard; I don't know how the neighbors didn't run out to see if we were okay. But we survived!
Luckily Grandma and Grandpa Hauser were near Daddy's softball practice. They went and picked up a clear car seat and came to our rescue. By the time they arrived she had fallen asleep in my arms. She was transferred to the new seat and then to a crib without ever waking up-you know she wasn't feeling good!
So all of that happened before she took her inaugural bath in the sink!
This seems familiar...
I remember this picture so clearly growing up. I believe it was in a frame on Momma's desk. We couldn't find the same book for Sidney Kate, but it's still super cute! I'm not sure exactly how old I was, but it was sometime in 1981. So I'm guessing over 1 but not 2...???
We missed the picture of her drinking from the faucet, but she did it. She loves to feel the water come out of faucets. Washing her hands is a whole new game!
I can see where she got her bird mouth from! Same sink...two decades later!
