6 weeks old

You have hit that milestone where I consider you no longer a newborn :(

Thursday: Nothing big happened, just chilled!

Friday: My one month appointment!  Stats: 8 pounds, 10 ounces (50%); 21 inches (50%), head 98%!  The doctor said I was perfect...she warned mommy and daddy that I'm a mover and I'm not to be trusted!  I got one shot and took it like a champ!

Saturday:  A big and exciting day!  We started the day by going to a highway dedication for Mommy and Daddy's friend Taylor who died in the war.  We then hung out with Nana P. at Kenwood Mall, McAlisters for lunch and then back to her house.  Mommy assembled my swing/seat and pack-n-play for Nana P.  After that we headed to Ricky and Dawn's for Dawn's birthday.  I got held a lot and played with my friends Wilson and Hadassah.

Sunday: Church again and I was up for part of it and Nana P. held me.  Mommy and I then delivered food to Ms. Bobbi as part of the outward focused celebration.

Monday:  Mommy and Daddy took me to one of their crazy creative meetings again!  Daddy ended up coming down with a bad cold that night and from Monday-Wednesday I had no real contact with him :(

Tuesday: I went to the zoo for the first time with Mommy, Gigi, Seth, Sara and the girls she nannys.  I slept and ate through most of the zoo...but I definitely woke up to the blue shiny lights in the cat house...I was beyond fascinated by them.

Wednesday:  Mommy had a doctor's appointment and every was in awe with me.  We then went to Creme and saw all of Mommy's friends who again were in awe with me!  We closed out the night by going to dinner with Gigi and Sara at Cheesecake Factory in honor of Mimi.  I had a huge blowout that got everywhere (Mommy doesn't know if my onesie can be saved!)

Personality:  Mia is on a great schedule.  She eats every 4 hours, getting 6 oz bottles and nurses once during the night.  She sleeps for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in between feedings and usually sleeps for a 6 hour stretch during the night!  Not having time with Daddy this week was rough.  She would hear his voice and look everywhere.

Mommy note:  I have 900 ounces of milk that I have frozen!!!!!!!  Our freezer is full of what we use everyday, plus there is a ton at Gigi and Pappy's.  This week has been difficult knowing that it is my last at home.  I am ready for adult interaction, but not ready to leave my baby girl all day!  I know that her daddy, Gigi, and Nana P. will take great care of her, but they are not Mommy!  I had my doctor's visit and all is well!
