Week 3

Where has the time gone? You're already 3 weeks old! This past week was a fun one! We got your birth certificate, social security card, and enrolled in DEERS and Tricare so you're official :) We got to take you to beautiful Florida for the first time and we got to have our first holiday with you. Thanksgiving was such a great time and we loved being home for the weekend. You got to meet Aunt Kayleigh and Uncle Britton, Aunt Juliana, your Grandpa Hughes and Great Grandma Carolyn and Great Grandpa Clark! Everyone said how cute you are and how sweet your kisses are :) You did amazing on the 7 hour drive down. I was so impressed with how well you did. We only had to stop twice to feed you and change you. On the way back to NC it was a little more rough. It was such a big travel day since it was a holiday weekend and the interstate was miserable. Tons of traffic, traffic coming to a complete stop, lots of accidents, etc. It took us 10.5 hours to do the 6.5 hour drive. So we had to stop more often to feed and change you. You were still so patient with us. You also hit your 3 week growth spurt so we had a rough last night in FL and during the drive home. Just like the last growth spurt, you wanted to eat often (as often as every hour). Luckily it doesn't last for too long and we get back into a routine pretty quickly. You've become more aware of your surroundings and love to look at lights and the fan. Your eyes are lightening up and looking more blue in color. You turn your head from side to side very easily and look around when you hear our voices. You can also pick your head up when on your tummy and actually prefer it that way when you're awake. Your such a sweet girl and we love you so much.
