Vivi is one month!



This month has flown by! It's amazing that Vivian is already one month old. We feel like we just brought her home from the hospital. Here's what she's been up to lately:
  • Had her first "sick" visit to the pediatrician for a terrible diaper rash (thank goodness she's now on the mend thanks to Triple Paste - the Pedi's advice to just use Desitin did not work AT ALL but luckily we found out about Triple Paste online and bought a huge tub of it which was totally worth the $32 - we highly recommend it)
  • At that visit we found out she now weighs 9 pounds!
  • Drinking 3-4 oz bottles every 3-5 hours
  • Still sleeping in the carseat, but we're transitioning her to her crib this weekend
  • Getting better at tummy time
  • Still fits into her newborn outfits, but within a week or so we'll have her in 0-3mo clothes
  • Took her first roadtrip to Hershey to visit her GG (from whom she received her middle name) and two of her Great Aunts (Aunt Diane and Aunt Liz). Vivi slept the entire ride there, but on the ride home woke up crying with a poopy diaper which Mommy had to pull over to change and then feed her - after that she slept the rest of the way.
  • Would rather be held than put in her swing or bouncy seat, although her tolerance of both of these baby play-things is getting better
  • Is losing her baby hair just like Owen did at this age. Thank goodness for cute hats! :)
She has stolen our hearts and we are enjoying every second of her being here. We can't imagine life without her.
