To celebrate Daphne's four week birthday, we've documented some milestones of her first month with us.
April 28: Daphne's first bath at the hospital, in expert hands. Oh yeah, this was the day she was born, too.
May 1: Daphne's first bath at home (not-so-expert hands, but no drowning!)
Later that same day, on the way home from her 1st pediatrician check-up, she makes a pit stop to get the Acura smog checked. Both the car and Daphne check out A-ok.
May 8: At her 2nd pediatric check up, Daphne weighs in at 8 lbs/4 oz. Later, she continues bonding with Nana Williams (just TRY to pry her out of grandma's hands, I dare you).
May 18: Daphne dines at the Elite Cafe, trying to get her parents out and about. An outdoor table, of course.
May 19: Daphne starts going to the "gym" (that's what they call these lie-down-on-the-floor-and-play things). Her first "gym" visit she mostly looks confused.
May 21: Daphne gets her first meal from someone besides Mom, as Dad takes the bottle in hand. Turns out it is not really ALL about the breast; she will readily take the breast milk from any device!
May 24: Daphne makes a new friend with whom she can share clothes (Barbara J, thank you for the custom-knit fashions and Teddy!)
May 25: Daphne sleeps in her own room for the first time (so we can all sleep a little better). There is an immediate up-tick in hours spent asleep!
May 27: Feeling cocky after the successful bottle feed, we introduce the pacifier. We anticipate a healthy and thriving relationship here. These days they say pacifiers help prevent SIDS. Now if only they knew what caused SIDS.
Daphne has also been spending a little more time in her crib (rather than the bassinet), getting to know the neighbors.
May 28: Continuing on the recreation theme, Daphne goes surfing on her cozy surfboard which comes with its own tide pool of fish friends! (AKA, 'tummy time' as the books say.)
