5 Weeks

As the calendar goes, today Scarlett is five weeks old.

We've been doing as much as we can with her. Last weekend the three of us spent the entire day (a whole six hours!) out, and during that time we changed her diaper, gave her a bottle, and breast fed her, all out in public. I was so impressed with us I practically high-fived myself.

We also discovered that she goes comatose when we run the vacuum. I'm serious, it's like watching one of those TV shows where people get hypnotized, and when the hypnotist says "I'd like to buy a pigeon", the programmed person just drops on the floor asleep, drooling on themselves. Instead of burnout our vacuum, I've got my iPod in her nursery with some speakers and white noise mp3s. Sleeps like a rock, and gives mommy a break.

Here is a new album with a few pics.
