We are loving every minute! Overall she is a very happy baby, although we have determined that she went through her 3 week growth spurt this week and had a day when she was just not herself and was fussy all day. It definitely made me wonder how parents of a colicky baby survive! She also has a tough time settling down to go to sleep at night but we are working on it!
A few of her favorite things:
1) falling asleep on my chest after a good meal
2) rocking in her lambie swing
3) bath time, except for the hair washing part
4) sucking on her pacifier
5) stretching out her limbs during the day (since she is swaddled at night)
6) going for walks in the stroller
7) being burped by daddy
We tried out the bottle last Saturday (with pumped breast milk) and a couple times since then and it was a success! She took it perfectly and is going back and forth from breast to bottle like a champ. Now daddy can feed her occasionally and we can leave her with Joel's parents when we're ready! Speaking of leaving her... the Lady Antebellum/Tim McGraw concert is tomorrow night and I am still trying to decide if I'm ready to leave her for a few hours. As long as she stays in good spirits between now and then I think I am going to try to catch part of the show and I know the Kelly's would love nothing more than to come over and hang out with her while we're gone. : )
I can't believe she will be a month old already next week! We have her one month check up on Wednesday and are looking forward to seeing how much she has grown. She is finally starting to be able to wear some of her 0-3 months clothes, although only a couple sleepers at this point, everything else is still way too big. We are out of newborn diapers and moving onto size 1... what a milestone! : ) We go through SO many diapers! I swear half the time I change her she either poops or pees mid-change or instantly after the new diaper is on. She has been quite a trooper and allowed us to enjoy trips to the Fish Market and the Hotel del Coronado last weekend.
