The First Six Weeks...

Hard to believe that our little Amy is over six weeks old now! It has been a whirlwind since she was born, but also a lot of fun. Some of the highlights from her first six weeks in the world:



Milk-induced drunkenness:


First Iron Bowl party (2 weeks old):


First trip to the farm, complete with "extreme nursing" (nursing in a sling while riding on a golf cart on bumpy roads) (3 weeks old):


She is a wonderful baby, and such a joy to raise! We have been very blessed that she isn't colicky and seems to have naturally distinguished her days and nights, and sleeps for long chunks of time at night (like 3 and 4 hours. For an infant, sleeping "through the night" is actually defined as five hours at a time). We are spending the next 6 weeks (until i go back to work) getting her ready for daycare by spending more playtime in the crib and bouncer and getting more of a routine for getting up, naps, and bedtime. She has just started smiling a lot and it's so much fun to interact with her now that she's more responsive to everything. Can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring!
