One Month Old!


I can't believe our baby is already one month old!  She has gotten so big already too!  We went to the doctors on Wednesday to check her weight, and she gained 8 ounces in 7 days.  That was more than we ever expected, so I guess all the ice cream and shakes from Taffy's did the trick.  So as of Wednesday our little bruiser weighed in at 6 pounds 3 ounces.
This week we celebrated Shannon's birthday at Aunt Joannes house, and Regan was a highlight of the party again (along with Shannon's new dog Rosa).  There's no shortage of people that want to carry her around, and she enjoys it.  

She has also started to consistently sleep about 4 to 4.5 hours at a stretch at night.  Mom and Dad are very grateful for this, and hope that it continues.  Sleeping through the night looks like it may be in our near future.
We tried out our sling this week, because Regan has not been sleeping as much as she used to during the day.  It works out really well because she enjoys being on the move, and mommy can still get things done around the house.  It took a few tries to position it perfectly, but once we figured it out it was very comfortable for the both of us.
Lately Regan has been pulling the "binky" in and out of her mouth herself.  This picture shows her holding it tightly in her mouth.  
Daddy came home from his training early and got to spend the afternoon with us.  This is the position they are currently in as I write this.  Regan looks very comfortable, but daddy looks like he might want to get up.  However, it doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon.
