Characteristics of a Four Week Old Baby

Things I've learned about Helen in just 4 weeks:

- The act of pooping is the worst. She cries while pooping and then once it's out, bam! Whole new woman.
- A wet diaper (from pee) is the worst. The worst.
- Helen likes The Ugly Duckling, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and Pride & Prejudice
- Sleeping on her belly is her preferred way to sleep, SIDS be damned. Even better? Sleeping on her belly on daddy.
- Helen is a little lukewarm on the whole pacifier thing . . .
- She can already hold her head up pretty well. If only it wasn't so dang heavy!
- J and I are confident she will crawl pretty early. Sure, we might be biased, but she already kicks her legs so much and actively tries to push against whatever she's laying on. Sometimes when I get her up from napping she has kicked so much she's actually rotated her little body around in a half-circle.
- She eats as if it's her last meal. Every. Time.
- She is totally okay with being fed from a bottle. Which is so reassuring to this soon-to-be working again Momma.
- She snores ever so slightly, just like her Momma :-)
