Dahlia's Great Weekend

Dahlia would like to share all the wonderful things about her weekend. First off, she's feeling very mature now that she is one month old. You'll see she was proving that maturity with some of the events of her weekend. It started off Friday afternoon when her daddy came home from work around 2pm and didn't go back to work until Monday morning. They got to reconnect all weekend long after his week back at work. She really liked that. She had a visitor on Saturday, Adrian, who brought pizza and helped Dahlia take her midday nap. Saturday evening she got to ride in her car seat, which she really likes, all the way to San Francisco to her Tio and Tia's apartment. There she got to hang out with her new buddy, Avi, son of our friends Holly and Joel. Avi is 5 days younger than Dahlia. You'll see the excitement of that event in the slide show. Note Dahlia's interest in Avi and Avi's supposed disinterest in her. We know he was secretly enjoying himself. He was just playing it cool, like a guy does. After her social evening, Dahlia really impressed herself and her parents. She slept from 1am until 7:30am without waking up! It was truly amazing. 6.5 hours of straight sleep might not sound like a lot, but I haven't had that since probably month 6 of my pregnancy. The next day, Dahlia benefited from her parents figuring out how to make her bath more enjoyable: eat lots of milk, feel satisfied and drunk on milk, then bathe. She LOVED it! She was so happy splashing around in the warm, womb-like water. Then she had more visitors, Sam and Tiffany, followed by a trip to her abuelitos. Wow! She's practically a grown up. We're very proud of her.

This slideshow, Dahlia vol. 4 includes many of these events from her weekend, as well as other parts of her "I'm one month old" week. Today she's actually 5 weeks old, and weighed in at 9 lbs, 3 oz on her personal scale.
