One Month New!

I cannot believe we have had Genevieve as part of our family for an entire month already.  I also cannot believe that I am a month into my maternity leave and will head back to work in a few short weeks.  


Here is where Neve stands today. She:

- is rarely fussy.

- has strong neck muscles and loves to look around.

- loves the ceiling fan.

- sleeps in her crib (and has been since day 1).

- is very bottle and pacifier specific.

- is still working on the sleeping at night thing.  She can do it, she just doesn't always want to and I think she is too young for the cry it out approach.  We are working on a routine from the Baby Wise book and I hope that cuts down the number of times she is up at night.

- makes little kids want to hold her, which makes her sister jealous because Genevieve is HER baby sister.

- is going to be ticklish.   We can just tell.

- is still in 0-3 month outfits.  She has longer legs than Ellie did, and not as long of a torso.

- has already been to two birthday parties and Easter celebrations!  She is a party animal.

- loves to drink her milk fast, and then proceed to spit it up (about once a day or once every other day).

- must think Mommy lives to do laundry (see above comment).

- has a knack for dirtying her diaper within 15 minutes of being changed.   The girl goes through a ton of diapers!

- is adored by her big sister, Eleanor.    Eleanor must know where Genevieve is at all times, and the minute Ellie gets home from day-care she wants to play with her.

- continues to make her Mom and Dad the happiest people on earth by having her in their lives.


- makes our family complete.

One month new!
