Beebop-a-Lula

Rosie is a month old today!

She is getting very plump and has the cutest, chubby pink cheeks! She has been an eating machine for the past 2 weeks (she’s a growing girl, after all) but has finally slowed down this week. She’s drinking 4 ounces every 3-4 hours and is very demanding when it’s time to eat, giving very little warning before she starts screaming for her bottle.

She’s starting to focus on things and smiles at us when she’s awake. When she lays on her belly she pushes her head up pretty high, before it plops down again. It’s great to see her get stronger by the day.

We all think she’s the most adorable thing and the sweetest little package to hold. We can’t get enough of her!

Lulu still gets giddy around Rose. All she wants to do is kiss and hug her when she’s awake. We try to encourage her to spend time with the baby so that she doesn’t harbor any kind of resentment (although I’m sure that will change someday).

As good as she is around the baby, we do have to keep an eye on Lulu. She tends to peek in (and when I say “peek in” I really mean “shake vigorously”) the crib when Rose is sleeping and likes to leave things in tribute. The other day I found the cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels hanging out at Rose’s feet. Needless to say, I knew how it got there!

The girls definitely have been keeping us busy. It’s been kind of a whirlwind, especially trying to prepare for Christmas (on top of a lack of sleep). While my ambitions were much higher than I can deliver this year, I’ll just be happy spending the time with friends and family and to introduce them to Rosebud.
