Two Weeks

Has it seriously been 2 weeks already?!?

It really is amazing how quickly time goes by and how much she changes every day. 

We reached a lot of new little milestones this week:

The weather has been unseasonable warm for late November/December, so we didn't want to stay cooped up in the house.

You had your first outing to the mall.

I felt bad because this time you wouldn't be getting chick-fil-a

 this time around.

I think you enjoyed it in mommy's belly- it was pretty much on the menu every week!

first semi-bath 

to soak your red little bum and first diaper rash.

Because of this we started cloth diapers and cloth wipes.

I even went all "earthy" and used olive oil instead of diaper cream.

It cleared right up!

Shortly after you had your first real bath 

because you lost your umbilical stump at 10 days old.

You are very easy going and hardly ever cry.

You had your first cry this week accompanied by your first tear.

I guess you were tired of being in the car.

That was about the first and last time you cried. 

You typically just grunt and make monkey noises. 

You are a great sleeper.

You pretty much sleep 20 hours a day.

You are pretty consistent with your your awake times:

9:00am-11:00am

 maybe a tiny bit in the afternoon if we are lucky

7:00pm-8:00pm

10:30pm-11:30pm

and maybe 15 minutes during your 2/3am feeding.

This makes your night time feedings easy on momma. 

You are now drinking about 3.5oz/4 oz every 3.5/4 hours. 

The past few nights you have a bottle around 10/10:30 and then sleep until 2:30/3.

Go right back to sleep and ready to eat again around 6:30/7.

You seem to be most awake around 10:00 {Mommy and Daddy's old bedtime}

We are pretty tired around this time, but you are so so worth it.

We hang out in bed and talk to you. 

I can usually count on two faces during the 2am feeding and I look forward to it every morning. 

Face #1:

Face #2:

::DIMPLES::

We normally go back to bed after the 6:30/7 feeding.

Daddy has left for work, you get unswaddled and we enjoy a couple more hours of sleep.

When you're unswaddled you like to sleep with your arms up over your head

or

with your hands over your face

I love to dress you up. 

You are like my own little doll. 

It's too much fun!

This week you were styling in your super cute winter boots

You also went to church for the first time this week and you did wonderful! 

I never realized how quiet it was at church until I had you- I was so nervous you were going to fart or shart or cry! But you didn't! A few little grunts here and there, but you were an angel and slept on mommy the whole time. 

We love you more than words can express.

I can't even think about it or I start to cry {shocking I know...}

You are so beautiful and we thank the Lord every day for blessing us with you. 

What a privilege it is to be your parents.
