Babies!

Having a new baby girl does not mean we don't still baby our first baby.  Adam loves to cuddle, especially after waking up from his nap.  In the photo above, Adam is waking from his nap and Aurora is starting hers.

Our baby girl is doing really well.  She is growing and developing.  She is on a pretty predictable schedule now, with feedings every three hours.  During the day, she has a 4 oz bottle, then cuddles or sits in her bouncy chair for thirty minutes (so she doesn't spit up).  She spends the next half hour to hour doing various things while she is awake, like watching the mobile in her crib, doing tummy time, playing on her play mat being carried around the house to look at different things.  Finally, she'll nap for an hour to two hours until her next feeding.

Each day, Aurora is more and more social.  She loves attention especially when Mom and Dad talk to her.  She laughs occasionally and smiles tons, even when she's still struggling to open her eyes from sleep.
