2 Weeks!

Baby Girl,

Two weeks! How can that be??? You are still as sweet as ever and Mama can't stop kissing those sweet cheeks. Grammy went home on Sunday and Grandma Jann came on Monday. It was nice to have one night alone with just Mama and Daddy in between the grandma's but we were ready to have a little bit more help before we are forever on our own.

Grandma Jann helped cook, clean and snuggle you all week. It was also Thanksgiving! Your very first holiday. Grandpa Al came in town too and they both cooked us a delicious meal. You mostly slept all day but maybe it was because you got some of that trytophan from all that turkey :) You did look extra cute in your little outfit that Mama had especially for Thanksgiving. We tried to take more pictures but you just kept on snoozing!

Grandma Jann helped Mama decorate the house for Christmas. It was so much fun to put up the tree this year knowing that this will be the start of many traditions with us as a family. I also had ordered new stockings for the mantle and I absoultely love looking at the one with your name on it :)

Grandma Jann went home on Saturday and Daddy and I have now been on our own. We have been so grateful for all of the help from our families but we are really ready to start our lives on our own with you.

We love you to the moon and back!

XOXO,
Mama

Here are some highlights of our 2nd week:
-Another trip to the pediatrican for your 2nd week appt, you are still perfect and only a few oz away from your birth weight. We don't go back now until you're 1 month.
-Two more outings to Babies R Us and one trip to Best Buy
-Your very first walk with Mama and Lucy... you LOVED it and fell asleep quickly
-Lots of snuggle time
-You've had your share of blowouts this week... haha Daddy just laughs when we hear it!
-You still love you bath time but continue to cry when we take you out
-Your umbilical cord has fallen out in several pieces but it's now finally gone (thank goodness!)
-You fall asleep quickly after feeding but you loved to be snuggled/swaddled tightly
-You're still breastfeeding wonderfully and I think we've definitly got our routine down
-You're sleeping sometimes 3 1/2-4 hours between feedings at night... Do we already have a champion on our hands??

Happy Thanksgiving, Love Charlotte
