5 weeks old!

Little baby Cara Byrne is now 5 weeks old! She's outgrowing some of her little 1 month clothes and is in some of the 3 month size stuff (not all but some of the smaller 3 month stuff). She's awake alot more during the day and she's started to really smile at us (she loves smiling at Adam when he makes faces at her, it is very cute!)

We've tried giving her a bottle and she didn't mind it one bit! Adam was glad that he finally got a chance to feed her. And I'm happy because that means he can do one of the middle of the night feedings this weekend!!

Also this week we started using cloth diapers on Cara during the day (night time still gets the disposables). They are great so far and really easy to care for and they look cute on Cara too. We'll get some pics on the blog next weeks of those :)

Here are some new pictures from this week! xoxo

Cara's baby shower at Olympia Trust

My office threw Cara a baby shower on Friday which was a lot of fun. We played some shower games - a special one just for the guys (see Adam with a pregnant belly below)! They were very generous and gave us some really nice gifts. Cara was really good and slept most of the time and woke up near the end to bat her eyelashes at everyone. Not surprisingly, everyone thought she was adorable :)

Four weeks old - picture(s) of the week!

Hard to believe that Cara has been out in the world with us for 4 weeks! Here is a picture of Cara at our final baby class last night. She was very entertaining since she was kissing her neighbor :)

Cara's first prescription

Cara had a trip to our doctor yesterday because her diaper rash was not getting any better and we suspected a yeast infection (not a surprise since I had so many antibiotics during labour). The doctor gave her a prescription for a cream that should clear it up in a few days. She was so good at the doctor's office, slept the whole time even when the doctor was examining her! The rash doesn't seem to bother her but it looks bad so her bum will be cuter when it is gone!

Here are some pics from the last week or so. Enjoy!

Ribbit, Ribbit - one week old playing with Dad

2.5 weeks old

Cara is slowly learning the difference between night and day. Some nights are better than others, last night was a good night she was only up at midnight, 2:30, 5:30, 6:45 and 8 am :) and she slept in her bassinet not her car seat for a change!

Here is a video we took on her first day of life at the hospital - the focus comes in and out but it is pretty cute how alert she was on that day :)
