4 weeks old



Rebekah is 4 weeks old and doing well. She's still small enough that we consider her "new born" but when Angeline holds her I can see that she has grown. She had a check up today and she is now 8lbs 6oz and 21 1/2 inches tall so she is gaining well... about 50 grams a day! She LOVES her bath time and having her feet massaged. She never cries unless mommy has eaten too much garlic or I am just not feeding her fast enough but she is pretty patient really and with Daddy home to help with her siblings she rarely has to wait anyway. She is still wearing all her new born clothes but I suspect she will be moving to the next size soon. She is wearing size 1 diapers. You can see her blue eyes well in the last picture of her in the bath. She also tried out her swing for the first time yesterday and seemed to like it well enough to fall asleep. Always good to have somewhere to put her when we are having dinner or needing hands free. She continues to sleep well most nights but the odd night she has trouble settling down. I often stay in bed with her until 8:30am which is sleeping in for me. Jonathan still has a few weeks off but we will all be in for an adjustment when he goes back to work.
