[Baby Girl] Cowan: 8 weeks

Posted by Jeremy in family, gratitude

I thought it would be appropriate to add an update on [Baby Girl] Cowan. She'll be 8 weeks old on Sunday and has been growing like crazy. While she has been getting a little chubbier, like most babies do, she is definitely getting taller as well.

We track her weight at home in a fashion similar to the rabbits. In fact we use the same bucket and hang her in the scale. She doesn't seem to mind, in fact, if I had to guess I'd say she enjoys the bunny bucket. Her last "official weigh-in" was last week when she tipped the scale at 11 lbs. 6 oz.. If I were a betting man, I'd put her over 12 lbs. today.

We have discovered a few of her talents already. She is quite an accomplished hand-sitter. This will keep her happy almost as long as a good feeding.
She's already identified her favorite piece of furniture in the house (a Freecycled piece I might add). This bouncy chair seems to please and relax her like no other.
Isn't funny how new parents often enjoy their babies most when they are asleep. It's not that we don't love her all the time, but it is SOOO much easier when she looks like this.
[Baby Girl] has been such a joyous addition to our family. It is hard to believe that 8 weeks have passed, as they say, time flies. We've had challenging moments (last night was probably the worst), and we've had moments that we wished would last forever. She's definitely melted my heart.
