Sarah is five weeks old today. I think I'll just say it every week: I can't believe it's been five weeks already!
One night after her bath, Craig handed her to me and Sarah suddenly looked really long. I guess she is finally stretched out instead of in a newborn-scrunch. Sarah seems to really notice me when I'm in a room now, she listens to my voice and looks in my direction. She gets pretty close to rolling while on the Gymini sometimes and her neck is getting stronger. I have heard a few little non-fussing noises but she's not quite cooing yet (I can't wait to start hearing her little voice more often, hopefully Anna will let Sarah get a word in now and again).
We are trying to decide if she's got a case of infant acne or eczema. Right now I'm washing with water and putting some Eucerin calming cream on to see if it helps at all. I'll take her in to have the pediatrician take a look at her skin if it doesn't start looking better soon.
Generally speaking, I am continually surprised at how "easy" Sarah seems and I've really enjoyed getting to know her so far but I'm getting impatient to see her personality come out even more! She is just super sweet and easy-going so far.
