1, 2, 3

Erin is growing really quickly now. By 3 weeks old she changed from a no. 1 to a no. 2 nappy and now at 5 weeks old she is on a no. 3 (4-9kgs) nappy. We went to the clinic for her first check up and she now weighs 5.345kg's, is 57cm's in length and has a head circumference of 38.2cm's. She has picked up 1.165kg's in one month. She is sleeping well at night (4 to 5 hours before the next feed at night) and during the day (3 to 4 hours before the next feed). The number of times she is awake during the day is increasing and this makes an enjoyable social time for whoever is holding her. She has started smiling too. She is so beautiful to look at but then again I am a biased mommy! Owen continues to love and kiss and prod his sister and is very concerned when she is crying. Erin is not a huge fan of her dummy and needs it for wind-down or a grip. She prefers to sleep without it. Fine by me.

Erin has outgrown her pram cot which was small and dark for the first weeks and has moved to a bigger bed that is next to our bed. She has her little musical dragon to keep her company at wind-down. Grizzle hour is from 6pm-10pm which is not pleasant. The daddy has offered to take this duty over from the granny and I am not saying no! There is no crying involved but wriggling and furiously sucking her dummy and wanting to be held a lot.

Our family is now complete. I had to take a picture of each members shoes as it was so cute adding Erins pink pair to the line.

While the granny has been staying here it has been pancake day every Saturday.
