Well baby, there was a lot of sadness in the land for the first 2 weeks of your life. Don't get me wrong, we were crazy in love with youI had hoped to exclusively breastfeed you, but you were not gaining weight despite my feeding you for an hour every other hour. You pretty much cried anytime that you weren't attached to me. It made for one sad baby and one sad mommy. Even though it broke my heart a little bit to give you a bottle with formula, you became a much happier baby!! You slept!! You stopped crying all the time! You were just one hungry little girl!
Here are some cute (and not so cute) things you do: (Please allow my first-time mom self to gush!)
-You have expert timing when it comes to peeing. Doing it during a diaper change seems to be your favorite. Its very exciting.
-You can't hold your milk. After you take a bottle, your eyes roll back into your head and you get these silly grins on your face. It's hilariously cute.
-When you take a bottle and you haven't had enough, you will scream bloody murder until more milk is given to you. When you take a bottle and you are full, you will smack your lips ever so satisfied.
-You clench your tiny fists when eating like you are ready to fight anyone who takes away your bottle!
-Much to your mother's delight, you started smiling at 4 weeks! The best thing ever!
Happy 1 month!! You survived us as parents. Congratulations.
What a lovely story.. of the first 4 weeks.
