Sylvia is 1 month old!!

Our little girl is a whole month old today!! Thanks to our good friend Tess' food scale, we can estimate that as of this morning, Sylvia weighs about 8 pounds, 12 ounces (a 10-ounce gain over 9.5 days). She can still fit in all of her "newborn" clothes, but they're a little more snug, and we've started being able to pull out some of the "0-3 month" stuff, as well as moving up from "newborn" diapers to "size 1".

In her first month, Sylvia has probably gained around 1.5 pounds, has gone through no less than 240 diapers, has had many hundreds of pictures taken of her, and has met many friends and family members. Her laundry has probably been done at least 10 times, and her nails have probably been clipped at least 5 times. She has spent most of her first month sleeping, but she has longer and longer periods when she's wide-eyed and staring around at things around her. The poor kid also seems to have more frequent and longer periods of discomfort.

The past week was a big one for little Sylvia. We took her on her first overnight trip, to San Diego. On the course of the trip, she was reunited with most of the relatives she'd met so far and met some new ones and some new friends. She also had her first bottle feeding and attended her first wedding. Pictures will come soon!
