It just keeps getting better! Watching her gradually become more alert is so fun.
At 5 weeks old, she smiled at David for the first time. It was the first time he'd gone into the office since she was born. When he came home and went to say hi to her, she was happy to see him. :)
At 6 weeks old, I got my first smile. It was after the 6am feeding. I put her down in the crib to go grab something. When I came back she smiled when she saw me. :)
Both were heart melting moments. <3
She's still pretty sleepy but she's starting to smile more and more. It's usually around dinner time that she's the most awake. Sometimes she'll start getting wiggly and it seems like she wants to play/interact. I've started putting her on her play mat for tummy time when that happens and usually read her a book.
I was expecting her to be eating more at this point, but she's still on the same schedule that she was at 1 month old. 3.5 ounces every 3 hours, like clockwork. I can tell she's growing though! At her 2 month check-up she was 10 pounds and 23.5 inches long.
Magnolia grew out of newborn clothes at about 6 weeks old. She's also moved on to size 1 diapers. And her cheeks are getting more adorably chubby. I'm excited to find out her height/weight at her appointment next week.
Another highlight of this month has been starting to take her out in public more. She's been to church twice now and I have so much fun choosing a pretty dress, showing her off, and getting praise for her cuteness.
In general she is a happy and delightful baby. I honestly didn't know babies existed that were this content and hardly ever cried. I love her so much and miss her when I go to bed. :)
