I feel the need to post some sort of update even though there's not a whole lot to report these days. It turns out that newborns don't really do a whole lot that's worth noting. Her belly-button fell off this week, but that was probably the developmental highlight.
For the past several days, Susan has been making sure Reagan has more awake time during the day to make sure she's tired at night. We've also been giving her a bath each night, which really does a good job waking her up. Since the first bath (which upset her pretty good) she hasn't really fussed and almost seems to enjoy it. Then, after the bath, she's pretty alert, and it's fun to talk to her and make funny faces at her when she looks to be paying attention. Of course, she can't smile yet, so she just looks up at me with an expression that says, "who's this idiot?" Kinda like how I look at Carrot Top.
On Wednesday night, the entire family ventured out to dinner for the first time. We just went to a local burrito joint (I won't name it unless they pay me!), and the experience went off without incident. Reagan just slept in the car carrier the entire time, just like we anticipated.
Today (after going out for breakfast) we did some organizing of the playroom to free up some room for whatever new toys Amanda will get for her birthday in a couple of weeks. We also set aside some toys for Reagan to use and put some others in the basement. Being more or less housebound is giving us plenty of time to get the place in order. So, another rockin' weekend at the Pavloffs' house. Try to contain your jealousy.
First off, let me say it appears as if Reagan has very healthy lungs - I just feel the need to mention that to confirm what they told you prior to her birth was so far off!
ReplyDeleteGreat job getting the schedule down with Reagan - I can't wait to be there and help!
I said it before and I'll say it again, you guys make parenting look too darn easy.
