Serena has now passed a significant milestone and we are amazed we have made it this far with such ease. Not only has she survived a week with just Mom and Dad and survived meeting her psuedo-uncle Josh Hubert, but she has now been eating, sleeping, and pooping on the earth for over a month. At a month old, she can actually focus her eyes on things that might catch her attention (though she quickly glazes over and stares blankly) and she can grab hold of things (though we are not sure if she knows they are there). I realize that to most people she still looks tiny, but she really is growing.
In the last month, I have handled more poop in my life than I could ever have hoped for. I await the day when her bowel movements actually produce something solid instead of running out the back and sides of these superabsorbent diapers. It has also recently occured to me just how much attention a baby requires. But I have officailly held Serena 20,000 times longer than any other child and I have not dropped her or even bruised her to this point. So, here's to another month of relatively mediocre sleep and to the miracle of the 'Diaper Champ'!
