I'm posting a few days late, but I'm happy to say we survived our first month as a family of four (five if you count Sadie).
Sophia's clamoring for attention any way she can. Most Tuesday mornings we go to the library for toddler story time. Sophia loves it. Today she found a Christmas Barney movie to borrow from the library for a week. We got there early so we were able to read lots of books and scope out the scene. After careful inspection of all the kids Sophia decided that she would spend the entire time on my lap instead of huddled together with the group of kids. Oh well... Afterwards we had to stop at the grocery store and we ALMOST made it the whole way through without a melt down. As I was bagging and paying she decided she wanted to get out of the cart and when I told her she would have to wait until we got to the car she decided to alert the entire store of her "bad luck". She was crying and screaming! The cashier gave her a balloon on the way out the door and that made her happy and quiet.
Aubrey seems to be doing a lot better now that she's turned 1 month old. Maybe her little system is finally maturing. I don't think we're out of the woods yet because today she started a brand new symptom...spitting up. Twice today after she ate she spit up as I was burping her. She's really alert for stretches during every day and I swear she gave me a few huge gummy grins earlier that weren't related to any gas bubbles. She's 5 weeks today and all the books I've got say that around 6 weeks is when she will make eye contact and smile at me. Sophia smiled at me for the first time at Grancy's house when she was 5 weeks old.
