One Month Old!

Hard to believe, but Miriam will be one month old on Thursday and it is 4 weeks from her birth yesterday.  She is growing like a weed and getting some lovely chubby thighs and arms.  She likes Skyping with Grandma and Grandpa, napping in her Snuggabunny, and has started making the most adorable coo and sigh sounds this week.  She still hates diaper changes; they invariably end with her crying, hiccuping or crying because she's hiccuping.

We still don't really have a schedule, which is probably harder on mommy than Miriam.  She fills our days with eating, diaper changes, and naps.  Mommy tries to nap when Miriam sleeps, and squeeze in other luxuries like laundry and showering.  Miriam eats about every 2.5 - 3 hours during the day and 3-4 at night.  We're usually up twice in the night and generally she goes right back to sleep after eating and a diaper change.  Overall, we are progressing well and learning more about each other everyday; of course, we both have our days, but have survived one another so far.

We took our first trip to Target and get out of the house on walks most days.  She really likes the Moby Wrap carrier, which I used at Target.  She slept peacefully around the whole store.

In Target - notice the pirate eye - aaarrrrgggh

Photo shoot - showing off her new hot onesie!

Pats Fan.  She looks very worried about this year's season!  Miriam loves to furrow her brow when she's deep in thought or really concentrating on a task at hand - she gets that from her daddy!

Sleeping like an angel. She likes to stay warm in the morning with the blanket Grandma made for her.

She's so thoughtful; she sent a picture card to Uncle Timmy for his birthday.

Meeting Sonia G. She's met lots of new friends recently!
