1st 6 Weeks Report Card

Camryn will be 6 weeks old on Sunday...whoa! In teacherly fashion, I am going to give her a report card on how she has been doing.

• I gave her a B in Sleeping because she has some missing assignments. ;) One assignment that hasn't been turned in yet is Sleeping Through the Night. Hopefully she will get this turned in during the next few weeks!
• She received a B- in Smiling because it is still very inconsistent. Sometimes it seems like she is doing it on purpose, other times not.
• Camryn still needs improvement for her grade in Tummy Time. She earned a C for this class because of her behavior. She does not enjoy this class, so she is not putting forth her best effort. ;)
• Lastly, her B in Going Out is due to the fact that she left early from the assignment titled "Walking the Mall with Mom and Gigi" that took place on March 19th because she was crying. She did make up this assignment by completing "Walking the Mall with Mom and Dad" on March 21st, but it is still affecting her grade.

And Camryn received a A+ in being cute because...well...a picture says 1,000 words!

One Month!

Wow! This past Sunday, Camryn was officially one month old! We have had a long, fun month of learning, growing, lack of sleep, and falling in love with her! :)

Camryn at one month old...with a couple of special friends! :)
Here's what has been going on with us during her first month:

1. We are working on getting Camryn on a schedule. Right now, she's eating about every 3 hours and taking 1 1/2 to 2 hour naps between each feeding...that's a lot of sleeping! We're trying to go by the book Babywise...seems to be working well so far.

2. She still wears newborn sized diapers and clothes. Some of the 0 - 3 month things fit, too. I can tell, though, that she is growing little by little...she's starting to get the cute, baby rolls on her legs!

3. She gets the hiccups about once a day. (Check out this video)

4. She sleeps really well when she's swaddled (aka burrito baby!)...but she also loves to wiggle her arms free.
5. Her favorite place is snuggled up next to my chest.
6. We think her eyes will be blue...they started out very dark, but are lightening up.
7. We have had several visits from family...we are so blessed with how much Camryn is loved!
8. Camryn can hold her head up for a short period of time...we're working on that a little every day! (Watch this!)

9. She is getting much better at making eye contact...she loves to look at our faces. :)
10. I try to take Camryn out somewhere every day. So far, that has included church, small group, the grocery store, Target, the mall, and on walks through our neighborhood.
Thank you, Lord, for the sweet blessing of a child! We're looking forward to what month 2 has to offer!
