It’s funny how it can feel both like Tyler’s been here forever, a natural fit into our lives; and yet at the same time it feels like “wow, I can’t believe she’s already 4 weeks old!” She already has so much personality and we can see the changes in her from the squishy-faced, blurry-eyed stranger to the wide-eyed cutey-cute who lifts her head and follows objects and smiles and giggles (magical sounds!!!) and loves baths and pees just as her mommy opens her diaper or shoots poop across her room onto the wall (mommy laughed hysterically at that one, even as she cleaned it up at 5am). She has her first cold, or a congested nose anyhow. She sounds like Darth Vader and she blows snot bubbles at mommy as she nurses. Very attractive…. Daddy’s been diligent at sucking out her boogies with the asperator and spraying her nose with saline solution, while mommy sticks to giving her food, cuddles, and extra baths to make her happy (the less traumatizing remedies). Scruffy’s been so territorial of her, it’s cute! And he’s getting better about not lying ON her when he goes to cuddle with her. He’s ever so gentle when he takes treats from her ‘paws.’ At the rate that she’s growing, she’ll be bigger then him in no time. We went to the health nurse today and weighed her, she’s now 8lbs 14oz’s, which works out to her gaining about an ounce a day! (That’s pretty good in baby terms). So that means we’re doing an ok job at being parents, and she’s doing a pretty great job at being a baby (and an easy one at that!)
