Princess is 6 weeks old today. Wow time is passing fast. She had her 6 week check up with the Midwife on Wednesday. What a wonderful woman. Suzanne was amazing to work with and if I have another baby ever and am in the area I will definitely invite her to be my midwife again. Princess weighed 11 lb 12 oz and was 24 inches long. She is growing so quickly!!
Everyone loves to hold Princess, she has a real calming effect. Her Aunts come and hold her as often as they can. Daddy loves to hold her from the time he gets home till bedtime and only gives her to me when she is hungry. I am happy to hold her all day long!! (I do put her down when she is resting so I can get other things done, but I enjoy holding her a lot also.
She is beginning to smile more and more though it is hard to get them on Camera. It is fun to listen to her noises as she begins to find her voice.
She loves bath time and it is fun to have her float in the water with me. We have tried showers a couple times and they are not her favorite.
She is becoming very good at Elimination Communication she has had no poopy diapers the last 2 days! and the 2 days before that she would only get a smear before letting us know she needed to go (by squirming and grunting) and then she will eliminate over the toilet or sink. We are moving to the toilet now and she is getting used to that. It's really amazing how well it works and how fast she has picked up on not wanting to be poopy. We still catch and miss a lot of pee's, but since she urinates every 20-30 minutes it's hard to catch them all. She often has a dry diaper during the day and at night.
At a 1 1/2 months she is still just adorable and we love her so much!
