Nevi around 6 weeks old...She has genuine smiles now and responds to mom & dad much more with facial expressions, eye contact and cooing. We swore she said "Uh Oh' the other day during a diaper change ~ what a laugh we got!
I have been a little resistant to offering Nevi a pacifier but have come to an understanding (through research and a Pediatrician suggestion) that Nevi has other sucking needs beyond nursing. She tends to 'root' even after a full feeding and the pacifier seems to quench her . So be it!
We dressed her in the red fleece on a rather cold day, an April blizzard day, and called her 'Lumberjack Nevi' all day! Our little lumberjack is doing well, gaining lots of weight and very healthy. We took her to the doc a short time ago for a clogged tear duct, which has cleared up nicely on it's own. We discovered at that time that Nev weighed in at 10.4 lbs....a healthy gain from the 7 lbs she weighed a birth.
Lastly, she lost some hair in front at one month due to cradle cap and it's slowly returning now, the same color so far. There's something new everyday!

Nevi has grown so much in two weeks; she has matured and yet still looks so tiny when sleeping on her Dad's chest.
But in MN we like our lumberjacks to wear plaid jackets and Sorrel boots, so we'll have to work on that for fall.
Love and hugs to all.
