Week 4

Well, we don't have much new to report...Erin is doing great! Some nights are better than others, but that's fine with us. Last evening, she didn't cry much at all (she definitely still cried, but not for hours!) and she played for a long time on the floor and in her bouncy seat. Sometimes she likes tummy time, but sometimes not so much. She can hold her head up for a few seconds when laying on her tummy. She is much more alert and loves to look around at us and whatever is near her. And last night, I got TWO stretches of 2-1/2 hours of sleep, plus a couple of short naps. No complaints here!

She has started to spit up more, and we had to have an emergency bath this morning because of it. She was not happy about that. We measured her last night and she is somewhere between 21-1/2" and 22" long (she was 20" when she was born). Bob also tried to weigh her on Saturday with our bathroom scale and estimated her around 9 pounds. It's hard to think that on Sunday she will be a month old already! She's got a busy week next week with Grandma and Grandpa F. visiting, Daddy off work, and Thanksgiving. Then she is spending a week in Concord with Mommy and Grandma and Grandpa A., then Christmas coming up not long after that!

Here is a picture of how hard her life is, laying around on pillows:
