It’s…The Hand!
Mystic Creature it is, The Hand exposes itself only
for brief moments of time. Rare to see, even more
rare to catch on film (or in this case, bits).

Beth got this picture when she and Kirstin got home from their trip to town today. It’s pretty cute if you ask me. 🙂 She was sleeping in her car seat, yet her hand was visible through the cover.

During Kirstin’s visit to town today she got weighed. She’s officially four weeks old today, and weighs approximately 9 pounds, 14 ounces. So in a little over two weeks (15 days to be exact), she gained approximately 1 pound 2 ounces. She was weighed with her clothes on (and was something like 10lbs, 3ozs, so it’s an approximation)…but regardless, she’s gotten much larger.

She’s really quite the peanut. She slept most of the afternoon and into the evening, but we got the chance to sit and play around tonight for a while before her bath. She was ready to sleep when I took her up to bed, though. Normally she squirms and fusses some when I put her in the crib (she doesn’t like the change in position) and get her wrapped up for the night, but she barely squawked tonight. I wound up the Humpty Dumpty thing and before I got the bubble lamp turned off, she was already asleep.

She’s been sleeping really quite well in the last two weeks overall…so we can only hope that will continue until she’s sleeping through the night completely.

Anyway, that’s about all I’ve got to say for the evening. I’m heading to bed now (probably a welcome thing seeing as how this is the third blog post tonight), so until next time…
