Being a 1 week old is hard work!

The last week Jadeyn has had some fun times. She's been to the pediatrician twice, made a Target run and checked out her new stroller, visited one of the grandparents house for Sunday lunch and made lots of new friends. Her first pediatrics visit, we were told she has lost too much weight. Shame on mommy and that crazy spinal headache. We worked very hard over the weekend to get lots of food and Monday morning, we went back for another evaluation. Dr. Garrison was very pleased with her weight gain! She was back to where she should be at 6lbs, 10 oz! We have a 3rd visit with our regular pediatrician, Dr. Crittenden (thanks heather!) next Monday, so praying for another good report! Sunday was another fun afternoon. She got loved on by her uncle Erik who even fed her! She also took her first steps! ...with a little help from daddy. Grrrpa got it all on video, so that may be another post later on. Jimmy is determined to have her walking by 6-7 months because that's when her Great Uncle Lee started walking...we'll see about that.

Last night, she met baby Logan Reininger.

They are destined to be great friends. Logan's dad is the high school pastor at our church and she was born 24 days ahead of Jadeyn. It was funny to see the size differential and to realize what a difference 3 weeks makes. Logan's mom was a little sad to see how quick her baby is already growing up. It made me want to capture every single second I can with Jadeyn.

Jade has also discovered her tongue! She found this new body part on Tuesday and loves sticking it out and touching her fingers and the bottle nipple with it. It's really cute. A few other things to note: She seems to enjoy getting bathed and looks adorable in her little bath towel.

She likes sitting in her swing and in the boppy pillow. She sometimes likes the bouncer and the activity gym, but may be too small right now. She watched about 10 minutes of a baby einstein video yesterday, which is really good for her, considering she loves to sleep! She really hates diaper changes but who can blame her for that? She's done great at sleeping in her own crib and is almost impossible to wake up. I think if the doctor okayed it, she would gladly sleep 6-7 hours every night. I sorta wish that was ok! It's been pretty rainy and dreary here her first week, so we're looking forward to sunshine and getting to be outside sometime soon!
