One Month Old!!!

Ginny turned one month old on Saturday. This past month has flown by! Ginny had her one month check up this morning and weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces and was 22 inches long, so our girl is growing nicely. She also got a shot today (which is the band-aid on her leg in the last picture). Other recent items of note (since the last post): Ginny celebrated her first Halloween when her Lola and Lolo came over, she went with me to her first trip to Costco (Dad had to work that Saturday), our old neighbor Kathryn and her parents came down from Northern California to meet Ginny, she developed newborn acne (which should go away on its own in the next few weeks), she participated in the political process by joining me in voting last Tuesday, and she and I went on our first trip to the grocery store! Oh, and how could I forget? She drank her first bottle this week! I have been pumping a bottle for her every other day or so, and, fortunately, she eats from the bottle easily-her Dad has been able to feed her two of her meals now (yea! That gives me a little break).

To celebrate her one month birthday, we went on our first major outing-to the Wild Animal Park! There, Ginny got to cruise around in her new stroller for the first time. She also went to her first fast food restaurant (Wendy's) and first sit-down restaurant (Old Spaghetti Factory) where she slept peacefully so her Mom and Dad could enjoy eating a meal out (my first in weeks!).

We are also now working on trying to sleep through the night-on Saturday night, she didn't eat all night (although she woke up a few times babbling and needed the pacifier once). It's been such an exciting month-we can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Here are some pics from the last week and a half.
