8.3%

I told Ian last week that I was really excited for Mara to be a month old because that means she's officially a fraction of a year old. One Month. 8.3%!! Wow- time flies when you are having fun.


People keep asking us which one of us she looks like, but we haven't quite figured that out. Basically, I think she has Ian's hair (I was bald for the first part of my life...) and hopefully she'll have Ian's eyes. And from me, she got her personality- she smiles randomly, she loves to sleep and eat, and she even plays solitaire!

She's a whole lot of fun, believe you me!

I know we just posted pictures on Sunday, but she was awake this time, so here's another one. Enjoy!!

4 weeks

Here we are four weeks into this new adventure, and we still can't get enough. At her last check-in on Friday she was 8 lbs 14 oz and almost 21 inches. We can't believe how fast she is growing. She is always trying to hold up her head and look around and she is getting better every day. Playing with her is getting to be a whole lot more fun, although we are excited for when she can interact more. We are just excited to see her grow and develop. Hope you like the pictures and although we mentioned that she likes being awake she still prefers sleep for her photo ops, go figure.

She really loves Mom and Dad's bed...

Sometimes Dad is the bed...

All things considered her bed is best.

In conclusion, we took a family portrait and you can feel free to plaster it all over your desktops...

New Pictures and a short update

So, we have been getting some requests for new pictures of the baby and I figured it was time to comply. Mara is doing great, she is starting to stay awake a bit more between feedings. This is good because we get to see her beautiful eyes, and bad because we get to see her beautiful eyes when we want to sleep. All in all she is still the best little baby on the block and we'll be keeping her. Enjoy the pictures!

Mara had to spend some time under the Bili lights, but she was great (after mask modifications).

Remember that cradle I made? It now has an occupant.

There are those eyes.

We have the best family (thanks go to Melissa for the blanket).

A parting shot (thanks go to Jenn for the blanket).
