Nine Weeks

Sorry for the delay! Merry Christmas from one cute, growing little lady! 11lbs 4.8oz yesterday at the pediatrician.

Eight Weeks

What a pose. Here's Surrey, eight weeks old, refusing to smile for the camera. Don't let that frog-like blank stare fool you. She's talking and smiling quite often nowadays, although not quite as often as she cries. As for her hair, we're still trying to tame it. Hopefully her bath tonight will settle things down, but that's only helped once.

Seven Weeks - Behind the Scenes

And this is why last week, when Surrey was seven weeks old, there was no blog post. Screaming, unhappy child. Dreary day with no sunlight. A computer that doesn't hold internet connection or allow me to upload photos. Week seven brought exhaustion.

Six Weeks

Our dear Surrey is six weeks old today. Wow.

In addition to her six week birthday, today also celebrated her first shots at the doctor. Bummer. Snoopy band-aids adorn both her thighs, but she was a real trooper. She has also officially jumped into the double-digit weight club, ringing in at a petite 10.1 lbs.

And because Surrey continues to be inconsolable pretty often while eating, her pediatrician has told me to eliminate dairy for awhile. It's a good thing I love my daughter. No dairy is a huge hit. No milk?! No cheese?! No MILK CHOCOLATE?! Bahhh! Oh well, in the name of getting our sanity back (and our ear drums), I'll take one for the team. Had I known this yesterday, I would've held off in filling the candy jar with holiday Hershey kisses. Whomp, whomp.

*To note, these are all still awful pictures from the old camera. So sorry, Mom and Dad. My MacBook has decided to stop reading CDs and so as of right now I can't upload the pictures.

Five Weeks

Somebody turned a month old and decided to start out-growing her 0-3 month clothes. Look how tight this onesie is now! She'll have her driver's license before we know it.

Four Weeks

When embarking on this weekly photo project, I envisioned having a cute picture of Surrey smiling or sleeping soundly each week. And then week four rolled around and rained on my parade.

Then I realized it's better this way. It's better to look back and remember that four-week-old Surrey was different than one-week-old Surrey. Unfortunately, she seems to be in a lot of discomfort that I think may be reflux or GERD, and we hope to get some answers from her pediatrician this week.

Three Weeks

Yesterday Surrey turned three weeks old. I failed to adjust to the time change and missed the good sun in our condo, hence the worst photo you've seen yet. I also snapped some photos with our new Nikon D3100 (thanks mom and dad...best gift ever!), which look a whole lot better (duh) but we still have to purchase a USB cord so we can transfer the pictures onto my computer. Patience.

Surrey has decided to come into her own this week. Not nearly as much sleeping, and a lot more fussing. Fortunately, she's still the cutest baby ever birthed in the midst of giving us a run for our money nowadays. Crossing our fingers week four brings more routine to our lives!
