5 Weeks

Yea!  We made it to 5 weeks!



Trying really hard to smile.  She finally did it this morning, but of course I didn't have the camera handy.



We are battling a case of baby acne.  I guess Evie is embarassed and trying to cover it up!

As far as Evie's routine goes, not much has changed since last week.  She is awake a lot during the day and sleeps great at night.  My iPhone alarm didn't work one night this week, and she made it 5 hours without a peep between feedings.  I can't wait until we get the okay from the doctor to let her go completely on-demand at night!  She is starting to grasp a lot - reaching out for Finlay's fur, grabbing my shirt while she's eating, and trying to hold onto toys while we're having play time.  She can also hold her head up on her own really well if you just sit her up.  I packed away all her newborn clothes a few days ago.  They still fit circumference-wise, but were too short in the legs and sleeves.  Some of the 0-3 months clothes still swallow her, but they are much easier to get on and off, and at least she can stretch her legs out in them. 

This week we had a few more firsts.  Evie made her first trip to the grocery store.  She hung out in her Moby wrap and helped me with a quick shopping trip.  I talked to her the whole time we were in the store, and we got a few crazy looks!  My mom did the constant narration thing with me, and she attributes my prodigious childhood vocabulary to it so bring on those crazy looks!  Evie also had her first playdate.  A friend here, Danielle, arranged it at her house.  Evie got to hang out with Danielle's daughter, Sophia, who was born 2 days before Evie in the exact same LDR room.  I'm hosting the playdate Monday at our house.  Of course it's more for the moms at this point, but I hope that as the kids grow they'll become good friends.
