Week 4: 7 Days of Beckett (1 Month Old!)


Day 22 (3/2): Beckett snoozes on Emily
Day 23 (3/3): Beckett makes funny faces at her dad
Day 24 (3/4): Beckett dreams away before wake-up time
Day 25 (3/5): Beckett gets a kiss and practices 'kiss face' 
Day 26 (3/6): Her 'wow' face - she sees something and we don't know what it is; usually it's a light!
Day 27 (3/7): Attempting tummy time again - she goes from content to frustrated in a bout a millisecond
Day 28 (3/8): Enjoying her 'big girl' bath exactly one month after her arrival (well 3 hours before exactly one month but we weren't going to keep her up until 11 p.m. to celebrate - bedtime is 9 p.m.!)
Likes:

  • Bath Time - she is so over sponge baths but LOVES the big bath so long as we keep her covered up and keep it quick - she seems so peaceful during this time and I love that we do them each day now
  • Bed Time - after her bath we spend 30 minutes in her room as a family (pups, too!) listening to her 'Bach wind down' music and reading - she seems to love this time
  • Strolling - we went out strolling and she did great (so long as we kept it moving - kind of like the car!)
  • Her new big, flannel swaddle blanket (she has yet to escape it!)
Dislikes:
  • Manicures - she did okay when the Moms on Call nurse came out, but I am definitely not eager to do it on my own yet
  • Saline + Syringe bulb - again, the nurse did this and she freaked out. In fact, the nurse said if she doesn't freak out you're doing it wrong. Well there you go!
We CANNOT believe that she is already one month old. We've already had so much fun with her and just love to her death. She is a sweet, happy, beautiful doll and we're so glad that she is doing so well with her new '4 - 8 week schedule' - girlfriend loves a schedule, is such a good eater, is a great sleeper (so long as she is swaddled with her sound machine cranked UP!) and is just really thriving. She does produce an extraordinary amount of dirty diapers each day, and isn't a huge fan of burping, but we love her anyway. haha Can't wait to see what Month 2 brings!!
