4 Weeks Old!

Little Charlotte turned 4 weeks old on Thursday, and the adults celebrating by going out to dinner! Charlotte was very good on her second big outing, sleeping at the restaurant the entire time. She has longer periods of wakefulness now (sometimes at night unfortunately!) but is changing all the time. Charlotte is beginning to lose her hair upfront (reminiscent of her Grandpa Meiner!) and has gained a lot of weight - she now weighs 9 1/2 pounds (4.3 kilos). We lose our helpers today, Grandma and Grandpa Meiner fly home to the increasingly cold Illinois weather. They have been a HUGE help with Charlotte, especially at 5 am when they take over the feeding and mom goes back to bed for 3-4 hours! Back to reality now....

Like father, like daughter! We're happy Urs is getting use out of the feeding pillow...

Nestled in the sling....thank goodness she loves it!

Two Weeks Old!

Little Charlotte has been growing like mad! She has changed so much already we can hardly believe it. She has had one set of grandparents helping to take care of her, and the other ones are not far behind!

Charlotte Comes Home!

Monday was Charlotte's first day at home. No matter how prepared we thought we were, every moment is a new learning experience! Charlotte is a terrific sleeper - she has to be awakened to feed - and hardly ever cries. We hope this isn't temporary!!! Urs and I enjoy every moment with her; she is very sweet and provides us endless entertainment with her countless facial expressions!
