Hopefully I will catch up over a long holiday weekend. But if history repeats its self I will more than likely just be enjoying my cuddling time.

Just a Quick Post...
I just wanted to post this. I know I am a couple weeks behind on my blogging, but it is because I just can't pull myself away from this cute face. I just want to indulge myself in as much of her as I can!

5 Weeks - Wow they are just adding up!
We have had a very interesting week. We have done A LOT of relaxing but we have also had a few exciting moments. Of course you are getting bigger and better each and everyday. Duh, you are my daughter and you are totally awesome! It is the same post just a week newer. You are getting BIG and more and more awake. We didn't weigh you or anything but it is obvious (even to me, that sees you everyday) that you are getting big. I don't like it but with growth comes new experiences.
One of our exciting times this week was that it was Mother's Day. It was weird for me to think that I am a mommy this year and that this "holiday" is celebrating ME! Everyday I feel as if I am still babysitting you and that you aren't really mine and that your parents are going to pick you up at any minute. I am sure by the time you are 18 or so it will finally sink in that you ARE my daughter and that you are mine all mine. You were very sweet and thoughtful with your Mother's Day. You (and your sweet daddy) got me a couple candles, and three gift cards for mani/pedi's (one for me, one for Nana, and one for Grammy), and Snow White so we can watch it together.
Another great treat to your fifth week of life is that you were able to meet your Great Grandmother Newbill. Uncle Andrew was so sweet and brought her down for Mother's Day. The problem was that you developed a very strong cling to me in the past week that you really didn't want to go to anyone else but me. It was rough, but we managed through during your naps.

4 Weeks/1 Month
No matter how I say it you are growing. You are getting bigger, fatter, taller, more alert, sleeping less, playing more.
In the past week you have really sprouted on up. You actually fit into newborn clothes now. Socks look like socks now and not leggings. It is amazing just how much you have "filled out" in the one month that you have been alive. Don't get me wrong you are still tiny as can be and I love it, but it is highly evident that you are growing. I just started your baby book and it has a place for your weight and height each month. We went and got great-granddaddy's fishing scale and weighed you in a receiving blanket. You weight 6 pounds 14 ounces. You have gained a full pound in the first month of your life. You also gained an inch and a half because you measured right at 19.5 inches long. SO BIG! (well in comparason to a month ago) You still eat 3.5 ounces but sometimes that isn't enough to fill your hollow leg so we have to supplement here and there.
This week you have made tremendous strides in being more alert. You like to lay on the floor stretch out and play. You look at your giraffe and just "talk" to it. I can wind that thing up and let it play music about 10 times before you get tired of laying there and want something new to do, which is usually sleep. Playing on the floor really tuckers you out.
You have really been sleeping less during the day and saving it for at night. You eat your 11p.m. feeding and usually don't wake up again until your 5a.m. feeding. This mommy will take it. However, it is well known that the strongest muscles on your little body is your forehead. You don't want to miss a thing and fight sleep until its death!! It is getting harder and harder for mommy and daddy to convince you that sleeping is a good thing and that you won't miss a thing.

We painted your toe nails light pink...
You really started to like this seat and help mommy cook dinner in it...
You started sleeping in your bed day and night, but we still can't get you to give up your "bubble seat"...
See I told you that you were starting to chunk up...this is your first fat roll...
I see these pretty blue things more and more each day because you are sleeping less...
These are your official 1 month mommy/daughter photo shoot:
