(Almost) One Month

Dear Caroline,

You are four weeks old today (technically one month on Monday). I cannot believe time is flying by so quickly. We went to Uncle Jason and Aunt Julie's today - our first real outing since you were born. I'm not ready to take you in public just yet, but I figured going to family's house was a good first step. You pooped on their living room rug while I was changing your diaper - oops! Good thing Aunt Julie loves you.
 



Chloe was at school, but we put you on her bed and took your picture (you weren't very happy).


Here are some of the things that you're up to lately:

  • We introduced the soothie pacifier recently and you seem to like it. Sometimes you love it and other times you could care less, but we always have them on hand just in case.
  • You're definitely beginning to notice us more, and I can see your little blue eyes focusing on my face from a distance. Sometimes you'll see me and start to cry, and I think it's because you realize Mama isn't the one holding you!
  • You're still gaining weight like a little champ. We go to the doctor next week, and my guess is that you weigh about 7lbs 10oz.
  • We are planning to give you a bottle for the first time at some point this weekend. I hope you like it so your Daddy can feed you every now and then too. 
  • You slept for a 4.5 hour stretch and a 4 hour stretch last night!
  • I LOVE the smell of your little baby breath. Even when you're a little stinky, I just can't stop breathing in your sweet baby smell and kissing those pouty lips. I probably kiss you 200 times a day. 



Love,
Mama
