Smiles

I finally captured a smile today, will post her 6 week update later.

5 week bear picture

As Eric already posted, Vivi is 5 weeks old today, and we saw a couple more smiles from her today! According to the Wii Fit, she is 8 pounds! I also noticed while folding laundry today that the preemie onesies are looking small, and the newborn onesies aren't looking as huge as they used to. Our peanut is growing up!

Happy 5 Weeks Old

Jenavieve is 5 weeks old today, she smiled at me for the first time!!!

I wish I could have gotten a picture of it to share. I'm sure we'll get a good picture of it before she gets to be 6 weeks old =)

Vivi's shower

Vivi's shower was great! We had a good turnout, despite the amount of graduation parties going on that day, and had a lot of fun! We got a lot of great gifts, I was able to take a shower today while Eric was at work thanks to our vibrating baby seat! We got a lot of very cute outfits too, now we just have to get out of preemie clothes so she can actually wear them! 

If you want to view the pictures at your own pace and in a bigger size, you can click here. I'm just testing out the slideshow feature.

I don't know why I didn't post this before

This picture goes along with her 4 week bear picture that I posted before.

And while I'm here, today is June 6th, meaning one month ago Vivi was born (Eric and I aren't sure how baby months are counted-is it every 4 weeks or every 6th of the month?)

Last night we were talking about how much she has grown and changed and Eric asked me to put her first bear picture next to the most recent one for comparison. We were shocked at the difference, so we had to share!

We have a 4 week old!

Yesterday Vivi was 4 weeks old, I can't believe it! And if the Wii Fit is right, she weighed 7.6 pounds last night! It was after a 3 ounce bottle, but that's still pretty big! She's still in preemie clothes, although she can wear newborn onesies now, they're just long and a little loose. 

I think she may also have smiled for the first time yesterday. I was kissing her face and smiling at her and suddenly she smiled and her eyes lit up and she looked actually happy, as opposed to the newborn mouth only smiles, but I couldn't get her to do it today. She does look amused a lot of the time though when we talk to her.

We took her to the library for the first time on Monday, we got 2 books for newborns that are the black/white contrast, she seems to enjoy looking at them, and then 2 classical cds, one Mozart and one with a variety of popular songs. 

She developed the sniffles a couple of days ago, I think because we turned on the heat for the first time in a couple of months to keep it above 70 in here. Thanks to facebook recommendations we picked up some Little Noses saline drops and set up the humidifier, and I spent the first night using the aspirator every 15 minutes, but it got better after that. 

Last night was the Pioneer Club end of the year program. It was really good, it was my first time back since Vivi, and all the teenage girls in my class were excited to see and hold Jenavieve. They begged to take her home with them, until I invited them over for her 3am feeding, then they were suddenly uninterested ;)
