Christmas Outfit

I had Quinn try on her Christmas outfit the other day. At first, she was suspicious.

Then, she got MAD!

She settled down and felt calmer once she got into normal clothes. I think maybe she is like her Daddy (okay, her Mama, too, a little bit) and does not like dressing up.

I'm not sure you can tell from these photos, but our girl is balding. Sadly, I think she will follow in my footsteps (and not her Daddy's), and have that respectable head of hair she was born with fall out and new hair (eventually) grow in. Tim's hair stayed, apparently. Tim reminds me, however, that in the long run, she should have plenty of hair, since mine grows fast, and his is voluminous.

Life as a Baby...

The highlights of life with baby are simple.

Quinn had her first bottle recently -- once breastfeeding was "well-established," I started expressing milk so that other people could feed her occasionally (someday, perhaps I'll even be able to sleep through a middle of the night feeding!). Here she is getting her first bottle:



Yum, Yum!



Yesterday, she had her second doctor's appointment (the 4-week checkup, a few days early because we're traveling for Christmas). Our big little girl weighed in at 10 lbs 2 oz and is now 21 1/2 inches long! She's gained 2 pounds and grown 2 inches since she was born.



And, she's practicing for her life of fame by averting her face from the paparazzi already!



She's also been getting in some quality father-daughter bonding time. She looks a little startled -- Tim is probably making a funny face at her.

A Yellow Walk

Last week, we took Quinn out for her first walk around the neighborhood.

She stayed warm with her yellow blanket...



... and we encountered many other yellow things as well.
