Mia...4 weeks

My sweet little girl is now 4 weeks old...where has the time gone?


Thursday...
We headed to a brunch at Crossroads.  All was going well until Mommy realized it was nap time and she had forgotten my paci and there was no extra in the diaper bag!  This resulted in us leaving early as I was getting cranky and a little loud.
Thursday night we headed to Gigi and Pappy's to meet Papa...I loved him!  Plus Gigi got to feed me my bottle!

I got to meet my Papa.

I was a great baby while he held me and loved on me...I'm lucky to have a fun great-grandpa!

Friday...
Daddy tried to stay awake and hang with us...he lasted until lunch time.  Mommy and I were then headed to the store, but Uncle Icky called and needed us to rescue him...he had locked his keys in the car at work and with Gigi and Pappy out of town we had to go!

In my cool onesie...we sent this pic to all my Aunts!

Mommy loves to smother me with kisses!

Saturday...
Grocery shopping again...I slept through it all again so it made it easy for Mommy.  Saturday night Mommy and Daddy had a couples movie night at church.  Shante hung out with me for a little bit but since I was the only kid, Mommy came and got me (plus Mommy was having a little bit of an issue with me being out of sight.)

Sunday...
We went to church...again I slept through it! (I'm quite good at that!)  We then came home and watched the Bengals first regular season game and they won!  This made Mommy and Daddy happy; I'm not sure what all this football fuss is about.

Wearing my lovely dress that the Roblings had gotten for me.

Monday...
I went to my first Compass creative team meeting...those people are crazy!

I was a little needy and wanted Mommy in sight at all times...she needed to do dishes, so this was the solution.

Tuesday...
Mommy had to run to the store for a few things and she brought the Ergo this time...so much easier to shop!

Wednesday...
We went to Creme again to visit all of Mommy's friends...those adults and the kids go crazy when I come.  Plus I got to meet Willie and Callie.

Personality notes:  Tuesday night/Wednesday morning we slept for 7 hours straight!!!!!  Mia loves her daddy, something about him calms her and it's quite a special bond.  Mia has mild reflux (though we haven't been to the doctor yet.)  She has trouble burping after feedings and this results in HUGE spit ups later.  We have been trying really hard to get her to burp (sometimes it takes up to 10 minutes to get one burp.)  It's been going pretty good.  The good thing is...1. The spit up never bothers her...no tears and she just continues to do what she was doing.  2.  It's not consistent...usually once a day if not less.

Mommy notes:  With 2.5 weeks left until I go back to work, I have 500 ounces of milk frozen!  We are going to start introducing the bottles throughout the large part of the day starting next week.  I want to make sure she eats enough when getting the bottles all day (I still plan on nursing at night and first thing in the morning.)

3 weeks

Mia...please stop growing!  You are three weeks and the time seems to be flying by!

Friday:  No big plans...we chilled at home and just had fun!

Chillin at home.  Mommy enjoys playing on the floor with you!

Saturday:  You attended your first Compass Senior Leadership meeting.  We then just spent time hanging out together.

Sunday:  To church we went again and you slept through it all again!  Aunt Sara and Uncle Seth came over that night (plus a quick visit from Gigi and Pappy!)  Aunt Sara took pictures as Mommy gave you a bath and then Uncle Seth fed you your bedtime bottle!

Monday:  Mommy took you for your first trip to Goodwill (there will be many more in the years to come!)  Mommy and you then had dinner at Gigi and Pappy's (your first visit to their house!)  You did not really seem to mind the dogs and cats.  Uncle Icky held you for the first time...we are getting ready to say goodbye as he heads to YWAM in Louisville for 3 months.

Tuesday:  Daddy and Mommy had a breakfast date at Chick-Fil-A and you slept through most of it.  Uncle Seth came over for the afternoon and after cleaning up a blowout and a huge, messy spit-up we went to the playground.  Mommy sat on the swing with you bundled in the Ergo and you slept oh so peacefully.  When we got home, you wake up and seemed a little grumpy.  Uncle Seth was a big help, giving you the paci and holding you to calm you down.

At the park...on the swing...all bundled up...sound asleep!

Uncle Seth holding you!

All clean after my bath...look closely and you can see my curls trying to come out!

When you do these hand things, Daddy says you are throwing up gang symbols!

Wednesday:  Mommy took you to one of her favorite places...the library!  We also discovered that they have a mommy and baby story time every Wednesday, so if you are awake we may venture there in the next couple weeks.

More floor chillin time with Mommy!
