Sarah just turned 4 weeks old yesterday. I think this picture really captures her temperament well. She is so calm and mellow the majority of the time unless she is hungry, tired, or needs to burp. She's very easy to please :) It's amazing to me how different two siblings can be!
Ok, so I'm amazed at this child of mine. For the first few weeks, Sarah went quite awhile in between feedings. Of course being the paranoid mother that I am, I had to take her into the doctor's office to have her weighed to make sure she was gaining ok. At 3 weeks old, Sarah weighed 10 lbs 2 oz! She was 7 lbs 5 oz at birth so she had gained nearly 3 lbs! I couldn't believe it. But, check out those cheeks! She weighs what Reagan weighed at 10 weeks old. Looks like we're going to have a little chunk in our family :) Reagan ate every 2 hours until 8 months and was always thin as a rail. Again, so many differences!
I just can't believe how fast she's growing!In other news, Reagan went to nursery for the first time yesterday. I've been paranoid about sending her earlier because we're in the middle of sick season and I just hate when she gets sick. But, it's going to happen so oh well. Erik and I (especially Erik) have been looking forward to this day for a really long time! Now Erik can actually get something out of the rest of the church meetings. Hopefully Sarah decides to take her time in walking. Reagan walking at 9 months old made for a very long 9 months until she was ready for nursery.
Erik stayed with Reagan in nursery just to make sure she did ok, especially since she usually naps around 11:30 and church starts at 11:00 now. She did really well. When it was time for snacks, Reagan happened to be 4th out of 7 kids. As soon as Jordan Hansen started handing out the fruit snacks to the first kid, Reagan went nuts. She started yelling "Num, num, numinee, num num" (Num is for yummy and I WANT some) then she started chanting a series of "Pea, pea, pea, pea, pea!" (Please), "Go, Down, Go, pea, pea, go, down!" Basically she was saying any and all words, hoping that one of them would get her a fruit snack. By the time she got to Natalie Fluhman, who was right before her, she was desperate. Before the last fruit snack hit the napkin, Reagan had swiped one of hers and popped it into her mouth so fast that Natalie didn't even notice! Anyways, it turned out well and she was so tired that she passed out cold in the car before we left the church parking lot.
