2 Week Birthday

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since we brought G home from the hospital. We are getting into more of a routine now - or as much of a routine as a 14 day old infant will allow. She has started to regulate her own schedule and is eating about every 3 hours during the day and at night has gone for as many as 5 hours without waking. She's gaining weight (at a fairly rapid rate) so the 5 hour stretches aren't concerning. I love them! I have yet to actually sleep for the entire 5 hours. I usually find myself waking up at least once to go check on her.

Here are a few recent pictures. She enjoyed her first real bath last week. It wasn't quite the hit we were hoping it would be. She was good for about 3 minutes while she was still trying to decide whether she liked to sit in the bath or not. She soon decided that she didn't like it and wanted out ASAP. Oh, should I mention that this was after she peed all over Aaron? Hey, better him than me :-)
Is this an elf or is it Grace?
Grace and mama. She wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken. I think she would rather be eating!

Oh! She is so sweet! You look great too! She has lost her Umbi all ready? That's so great! I love that Aaron has been properly inducted into fatherhood! :)

She is absolutely perfect.

Bath time wasn't a hit until I started draping warm washclothes over Zoe while I cleaned everything else. Then she stayed warm and enjoyed bath time. Just a thought.

Great idea Kell! I'm going to try it. Keep the mommy tips coming. I can use all the help I can get.
