A Month of Firsts

I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted! December flew by as we adjusted to having a new baby in the house, recovered from l&d, prepared for Christmas, and just soaked up every precious moment. I feel like today is the start of trying to get into some sort of routine, so while Miss Q is down for her morning nap, and the house is picked up and laundry is going, I decided I should probably update you. I am thoroughly enjoying being home and love that it is 10:30 on a cold Monday morning and I am still in my pj's, drinking coffee, and eating amazing oatmeal muffins that were left by my door this morning (Laura- just got your message-thank you my sweet friend!). Hard to believe, but New Year's Day, Quincy was one month old! She continues to amaze us and seems to be very strong willed. The first two weeks she rarely cried and slept so much, but recently she has woken up and she definitely wants her voice heard. She is eating well and weighed 10 lbs. 6 oz. at her one month appointment. She is smiling and is especially happy in the morning and when she sees her daddy. She eats alot during the day and I guess that is helping with her sleep, because she sleeps between 4-6 hours straight at night. The only problem is when she does get up in the middle of the night, we are up for over an hour. I really love this time, though, because it is just the two of us and it is so quiet and peaceful. I am going to post a few pics today, but since I have taken well over 200 since she arrived, I am a little overwhelmed...I have lots more from Christmas, but that is another post for another day... The above picture was taken when she was 2 weeks old.
