Someone is in the process of jumping up into the next clothing size!
3-6 month clothing is beginning to fit and her 0-3 month sized clothes are getting quite tight (thankfully most of the organic clothing we have is sized for 0-6 months and still fits!). I better start unpacking and washing the next round of clothes! (In a related note, I’ve updated and added more gift ideas to our baby gift wishlist.)
Our little squirt is in a growth spurt! We didn’t think it was possible, but she’s eating even more now (and going through that many more diapers each day too)! This photo was taken 3 days ago and I swear she has grown since then already. So amazing!
She’s almost three weeks old and I cannot believe how fast the time has flown by. It seems like she was born just yesterday (though, at the same time, we barely remember life before her!). She’s growing so big and she keeps reaching developmental milestones:
– David and I have both seen half-smiles now when she’s been awake and she’s cooing up a storm (especially when we’re breastfeeding — sometimes she gets very chatty).
– She continues to enjoy turning from her back to her side on the changing table.
– She has been able to lift her head up since day one, but can now turn her head from one side to the other when she’s lying on her tummy or leaning against us (it’s unnerving putting her down next to me to nap on her tummy and glancing over to see her head facing the opposite direction!).
– She also often lifts her head up to put her hand or arm under it; she likes propping herself up with her hands.
– She reaches her hands out to us and maintains eye contact.
– She’s perfecting the art of snuggling closer to us by straightening and pushing with her legs and using her arms to move herself around.
We think she’s following in the footsteps of her dad and uncle who were both early crawlers and walkers. Mama and Dada are so in trouble!
Carrie, she’s GORGEOUS! I didn’t even realize the baby had arrived–it occurred to me the other day that the time must be near, so I checked the website and saw the beautiful pictures. Enjoy every minute of breastfeeding, holding, snuggling, diapers, cooing, growing, and loving! I am so happy for you and for your family and I hope someday to be able to meet the little sparkle in person. Sending lots of hugs and all the best!
oh my! she’s such a real person already! i always sort of assume newborns stay as little nearly-human blobs for the first.. like… 3 months or so :-)
Oh how she has changed and grown already! And ANOTHER cute picture! I’m eating all of this up :) And I’m not surprised that she’s developing so quickly….as my mom would say, she is a girl!
