we have a belly button

Madison lost her umbilical cord the other day (6/14). I think it was slightly assisted by her arms flailing during diaper changes, but the oozy, icky, innie that’s left makes her look even more human! Now we can start to give Madison some actual baths instead of just towel baths. Don’t read too far into this, we only gave her 1 towel bath since she got home from the hospital. Here’s what the remaining umbilical cord looks like. Incredibly hard to believe that this thing nurtured and sustained her for 9 months on the inside.
