Almost a Month Old

Newlyn is nearly a month old and seems to be growing like a weed. Darren commented today that he thought her head got bigger while he was at work. She's learned that the nighttime is for sleeping, so we're all doing much better. Just in the last few days, she's been sleeping well and going right back to sleep after each feeding. Darren's well-rested since she's not crying all night and I'm getting more sleep too.

Shannon has been visiting with us for a few days. We've had a good visit and Shannon has been a huge help around the house. This morning, she took care of Newlyn so I could take a much-needed nap. Today we went shopping and bought some really cute clothes for the baby. She's heading back to Virginia tomorrow though, so we'll go back to our normal routine.

We have lots of family visits planned for the next few weeks, so we'll be busy, but will try to post pictures quickly.
