3 weeks old!

We can't believe she's already 3 weeks old! It still seems like we're trying to get settled and figure each other out. All 3 of us are new to this whole parenting thing. This weekend, Phil and I decided to test the traveling waters with a little weekend trip to our cabin in McCall. Turns out she rides pretty good in the car between feedings! Like her mommy, Sloane is NOT a fan of naps and it seems that when she is put down, she doesn't give up easily. The exception, of course, is her Daddy's arms where she will happily sleep for any amount of time!!
What a good Daddy! The book he is reading is Baby Wise - a parenting book about how to teach your child to sleep on a schedule. It recommends NOT letting them fall asleep in your arms, of course. :) This parenting stuff is hard work!!

Seems that diapers are also not leakproof as you can see below. And we thought our kid wouldn't be messy...Oh well, just throw it all on top of Mt. Laundry in the utility room... We're also rethinking the silk pillow covers in the living room... Even the cats stay far away from the messy, loud new little darling in the house.

Stay tuned for more lessons learned in the Winter's household!
