Tapanga 5-6 weeks old

Tapanga is 6 weeks old!! Tank continues to adjust being a big brother. He really enjoys showing her off. Aunt Kristin and Uncle Patrick came to visit and meet her for the first time. They were so sweet in giving her a pink hippo, an African animal because the meaning of her name both African and Native American meaning: Where the Mountain meets the sea, or a place above. There is also a Topanga Canyon in California. Pastor Chip gave us a map of this location after she was born. Anyway, the hippo is a hit!

She had her first bath and really enjoyed it. Her umbilical cord stayed put of a while until the ped put some type of expensive solution on it to break it loose. It worked!! I only learned it was expensive because the insurance coverage came in the mail! LOL

I took her to the Ida Lee craft show when she was 6 weeks old. It was her first real outing, being healthy and out of the house. I got lots of oohs and ahhs!

She loves Tank so much as to watch what he is doing. She also loves to snuggle with Daddy or whomever is holding her. Tapanga continues to wake just once a night to nurse. I let her nurse and nap whenever during the day. She is a wonderful baby!!
