Dear Jorie,
This week you are 11 weeks old. You had your two month check up (a little late) yesterday. You are 24 Inches Long and exactly 10 lbs. Still long and lean! You're in the 20th percentile for weight, and following right along on your own growth curve. You charmed everyone at the office, smiling and giggling at the nurses. The doctor said you are really strong for your age, which means that as soon as you start sitting up we will have to move you into the crib from the bassinet.
You had to get your shots at this visit, three of them, and you took them like a champ. You cried a bit for the second and third shots, but as soon as I swaddled you and started rocking you, you quieted right down. You were a little fussy later on, I think your legs hurt from the shots, but you're back to your normal smiley self this morning.
This week, Your Father and I have been busy moving us into our new house. This past Sunday was the big push, moving all the heavy stuff. Your Uncles Mike and Farley showed up to help out, as did your Grandpa O. Our house is now filled with boxes stacked in every room!
We've been staying at the house since Sunday, although it's still not really set up. You will have your own room as soon as we get everything set up in there! I think this weekend we'll spend some time getting your room together, setting up the crib and putting up the shelves. I want to make a roman shade for your room too, I have all the stuff to make it already.
Last night while you were in the MamaRoo, Your Father and I saw you reach up and swat at the hanging toys. It was such a deliberate movement, much more so than you've made before. When you realized that swatting them made them spin, you laughed and did it again.
We're coming up fast on the date when I will have to go back to work. While I'm really looking forward to being back at work, I'm getting more and more apprehensive about not being with you all day. I'm so used to being able to spend all my time around you, I'm going to miss you so much when I go back to work. But in the end, I know it's worth it, because it lets you grow up in a house with a yard and a puppy.
I love you Baby Girl.

10 weeks old!
Dear Jorie,
I'm not doing too well with these letters, am I? I know it's no excuse, but I've been having trouble finding time to sit and write these to you. Every day is filled with so many small adventures, from going for walks to spending time with your grandparents.
This week you met your cousin for the first time. Her name is Sienna and she's 13 years old right now. She was completely infatuated with you as soon as she met you. On Friday, she spent close to three hours just holding you. She kept saying how cute you were.
Tomorrow we close on our house. The house you will grow up in! Me and your Father are really excited. We've been working really hard to get to this point, and we're both ready to have some more space. I'm excited to be able to set up a real nursery for you, and to have the amazing rocking chair that's currently at your Grandma and Grandpa O's house. There are so many things we have for you that we haven't been able to use because we didn't have space to set them up. It's so amazing to think that we're buying the house that you will remember having grown up in.
You're getting to be quite a little "talker" now. You laugh and coo and squeak. Your Grandpa O thinks you sound like a baby dinosaur. You play games with us too, your Father will stick out his tongue and hum, and you will stick your tongue back out at him and then laugh.
Your other big new trick is sucking your thumb, although me and your father are less thrilled about that one (even if it is really cute!) I'll let you in on a secret, your father sucked his thumb till he was six! Now that you've finally figured out how to stick your thumb out so you can suck it, we've had a rough time convincing you that the paci is better. You've even rubbed a little raw spot under your bottom lip from so much thumb sucking!
We've had a rough few days, sleep wise, although I think you're finally starting to get back to your "normal" schedule. You fell asleep early last night, around 9pm, and stubbornly stayed asleep through multiple attempts to wake you up. This meant that unfortunately for your Father and I, you woke up early this morning, right before 7 I think. Not that I'm complaining! It's amazing that you are already sleeping through the night, which lets your father and I get right around 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night.
I love you so much Baby Girl. I'm trying to enjoy these last few weeks before I have to hand you off to someone during the day and go back to work. I'm really nervous about how that's going to go. I know I'm going to miss you like crazy while I'm at work. As much as I'm looking forward to being at work and doing work I enjoy, I've gotten used to being around you all the time. I can't imagine spending eight hours a day away from you! I'm taking comfort in the fact that two days a week, your Father will be staying home with you, and right now the plan is for you to stay with your Great Aunt Ruth for two days a week, so you'll be with family, and you'll get a chance to bond with your Father.
Time seems to move so fast now, You're getting so big already. Slow down Baby Girl, You don't have to grow up so fast!
I love you.

8 Weeks old
Dear Jorie,
This week you are eight weeks old. I missed updating last week because we were on Lopez Island, where I had no internet. You went on your first airplane, and did great. You got to meet all of your relatives on the Ross side of the family. You were very social, "talking" and laughing at everyone. Your Great-Grandma Ross spent a lot of time holding you. As usual, everyone loved you.
You keep getting more amazing every day. You are now very interactive, you play simple games, and love to copy people. Your smile is so amazing, it lights up your whole face. I can't describe how amazing it is to see you smile and laugh. Or to watch you interact with people. Knowing that you're actually reacting to what people are saying, or the faces they're making, it's just amazing.
You actually kind of play with your toys now, batting at them and trying to grab them. You're still getting the hang of opening and closing your hands, so you get frustrated sometimes. I'm convinced you have entire one sided conversations with some of your toys, even seeming to get angry at them for something every now and then, like they said something you didn't like.
One of your new habits is to suck on your hand. It looks like your trying to suck your thumb, but you haven't figured out how to stick your thumb out, so you end up just happily noming on your palm. It's really cute, but it results in a lot of drool! So much that I was convinced for a few days that either you were teething really early, or you had thrush.
We got your social security card this week. It's official, you're an American citizen! I just kind of stared at it after I opened it, reading your name over and over. Thinking about everything you will use that name, and that number, for in the future. We still haven't gotten your birth certificate, but I'm sure that's on it's way.
I know I'm not doing a very good job documenting all your adventures, but honestly to me the most important things are some of the smallest. Watching you smile and laugh with your Great-Grandma Ross, Seeing you stick your tongue out at your Grandpa O and then laugh, watching you laugh in your sleep, realizing you've slept through the night for three nights in a row, packing away your newborn sized clothing because you've outgrown it.
Every day you're growing and changing. It's hard to believe how much until I see pictures of you from when you were born and then look at you. You were so tiny and delicate. You're still tiny, and you're no where near chubby, but you look so much more...robust now. You look stronger. I can see the little girl you will be your face now. I simultaneously wan to freeze time and keep you this small forever and fast forward until you're old enough to talk and walk and share experiences with me. I'm so excited about showing the world to you, and watching you grow up, and yet at the same time I feel like this precious time where you're so small and brand new is slipping by so quickly. From what I understand, this feeling is normal, and won't ever go away.
I love you baby girl.

6 weeks old!
Dear Jorie,
I'm sorry I missed last weeks letter. It's been hard to find time to sit down and write everything out for you, we've been so busy! It seems like time flies by lately. Between going out for coffee with Jamie and Zetta, visiting your grandparents, and getting ready to fly out to Seattle this weekend, we've been constantly on the move.
Two big things have happened since my last letter to you. You outgrew your newborn clothing, I can still get you into a couple of the bigger outfits, but most of the newborn sized onsies are now way too small for you. I'm both happy and sad about this, I'm sad you've outgrown those impossibly cute tiny little outfits, but it's amazing to see you growing. You've filled out now, and while you are no where near a michillan baby, you do have some incredibly cute chubby cheeks.
In development news, you started smiling! Big open mouthed grins that crinkle up your eyes. It's impossible not to smile back at you. You also started obviously babbling at things. You like to "talk" to the monkey that hangs on your car seat and the Lion on your bouncy seat. You've also had conversations with a dark dot on the side of your bassinet. It's amazing to see you becoming more interactive.
I took you in to meet everyone where I work. You were definitely a hit, although you stubbornly slept the entire visit.
Speaking of sleeping, you've been very good at that! You usually sleep almost all night, waking up only a few times, although last night you had a rough night. Your father thinks it's because you were cold. You do not like to be cold! The reason you were most likely cold, however, is that you are a virtual Houdini when it comes to getting out of a swaddle. No matter how we wrap you, and even when we use the velcro strapped swaddle (that looks like a baby straight jacket) you manage to get out of it. I would be tempted to leave you unswaddled, except that you really do sleep better when you're wrapped up.
We have a big week coming up! This Saturday we're flying out to Seattle for the Ross Family trip. You'll get to meet all of your relatives on that side of the family, all at once! It's a really long flight, so I'm hoping you'll sleep for most of it. We'll be out on an island near Seattle for a week, it'll be nice to be able to relax with other people around to watch you if I need a nap, or a shower!
I love you Baby Girl.

One month old!
Dear Jorie,
Today you are officially one month old! Monday you turned Four weeks, but I wanted to wait until today (the 11th) to make it official. I cannot believe we've had you for an entire month. Every day is still a new adventure with you.
It's been a busy week for us! So busy I'm having a hard time remembering everything we did. I'm going to try to remember by working backwards.
Yesterday was a long day, we got up early and went to Equal.Grounds for coffee to meet one of my friends, Kelly, and to be introduced to her friend Jamiee who has a daughter Zetta who is just a little bit older than you. We had a great time talking, and you slept almost the whole time! After that we made a quick trip out to Grandma and Grandpa O's, so they could watch you while I took a short nap. Then later, we went over your Uncle Mike and Aunt Becky's for a cookout. Your Uncle Mike had a great time holding you and making faces at you.
Monday we had our customary lunch date with Aunt Becky. As usual you were very well behaved and slept while we ate. After that we went grocery shopping at Wegmans, and then relaxed around the house.
Sunday we went to the Corn Hill festival with Farley. We walked around for a couple hours, and you seemed perfectly happy being carried around. Halfway through the festival, I handed you off to your Dad who carried you for the rest of the time. It was a really nice day, although both me and your Dad got a little sun burnt, we managed to keep you from getting too much sun.
The picture is of your Dad and Farley, and you can see that your Dad has the carrier on, with you in it.
Saturday we went over to Grandma and Grandpa O's and hung out, like usual, although we went over early and left around 10pm. While we were there, we got out the baby scale and weighed you, you're 8 lbs now! We also tried to measure you, and we think you're about 21 inches again.
Friday we went out to get food with Andrew and Micha, who were both very amused by you. Also on Friday we went over to Alex and Lisa's to have cake for your Grandma R's birthday. Your Dad's cousins, Rachel and Rebecca, were there, and they really enjoyed holding you. You really are the star of every party we go to!
Last Wednesday was the 4th of July, and we went over to a friend of your Grandma R's for a cookout, and so she could meet you. It was really hot out and there were a lot of bugs, but none of that seemed to bother you. After the cookout we went to Grandma and Grandpa O's so me and your Dad could go swimming to cool off. We decided to skip the fireworks this year, but we'll see about trying to take you next year!
You're getting so big Jorie-bear. And every day it seems like you learn to do something new. I love you baby girl.

3 Weeks Old
Dear Jorie,
Today you are three weeks old. It sound like so much time, and yet I'm still trying to get the hang of living with you. You are wonderful, beautiful, and at times frustrating.
We've been taking walks up to Highland Park a lot, I walked up there with you Friday, and with you and your Dad on Saturday. It gives me some exercise, and you get to lay out under a tree and get some fresh air. You still aren't a big fan of wind though.
Saturday we were over at your Grandparents (my parents), and you got to meet some really close family friends, Steve and Grace. Their daughter Brooks has a baby girl, Rose, that's a little over a year older than you. She lives in England now, but hopefully she'll be back around Christmas and you'll get to meet her then.
Yesterday we took you to a family party with your Dad's family. As soon as we walked in the door there was a line (not kidding!) of people waiting to hold you. Everyone adored you. You were born into two of the most loving families in the whole world! Unfortunately by the time we got home all the attention had been too much for you. You were fussy and cranky all night last night!
Today I kept it low key, we went and sat by the Canal for a bit to enjoy the nice weather, and we did some grocery shopping at Wegmans. You like grocery shopping because I wear you on my chest in the Baby.Bjorn, and you get to sleep all snuggled up to me.
Everyone who meets you comments on how beautiful you are. And you really are. Not just because of your beautiful face, or your long graceful fingers, but also because of how relatively even tempered you are. You are not normally a fussy baby, which was what made last night so difficult! I worry when you are inconsolable like that, and miss my calm baby watching me with big blue eyes.
Hopefully we can avoid over stimulating you like that again!
Love you baby girl!

Two weeks
Dear Jorie,
Monday you turned two weeks old! Oh baby girl, I can't believe it's been two weeks already. It feels both like you just got here, and like you've always been a part of my life. Every day with you is amazing. You grow and change every day.
Now that I can drive again, we've been going on mini adventures, we went shopping at Wegmans by ourselves on Monday, and made a quick trip to get some baby stuff on Tuesday. Today I'm going to take you over to your grandparents (my parents) so we can wash all the new stuff.
Last weekend your father and I walked with you and Mojo up to Highland Park, and you got to hang out in the grass for a bit. You spent a lot of time taking in the outdoor world with your big blue (for now) eyes. (I can't wait to see what color your eyes settle on!)
We gave you your second bath last night, and it went pretty much the same as the first one. You like the bath, but hate being cold after the bath! Even wrapped up in a towel and snuggled up against us you were fussy and unhappy until you were completely dry (and fed!)
Last night we had our weekly dinner at your other Grandparents (your Dad's parents), and everyone got to hold you. Your Uncle Mike fell asleep holding you, it was really cute! Everyone is so in love with you, baby girl, they keep saying how beautiful you are. Your Aunt Becky (who will be having a baby of her own in six months) looked so happy holding you. It's great to having such a loving family around, you eat up all the attention, you even stayed awake for a while so everyone could ooh and ahh over your eyes.
This morning I put you in the Baby Carrier and walked down to get coffee with you. As soon as I started walking, you fell asleep. You really seem to enjoy being carried in the carrier.
So far right now you can lift your head, and roll from side to side. You even rolled from your front to your back once! You don't sleep through the night yet, but you do give me a few good four hour stretches of sleep every now and then, usually you give me a nice long stretch of sleep after your father leaves for work.
Don't get too big too fast baby girl, I don't want to miss anything! I love you.

It's great to having such a loving family around, you eat up all the attention, you even stayed awake for a while so everyone could ooh and ahh over your eyes.
This morning I put you in the Baby Carrier and walked down to get coffee with you. As soon as I started walking, you fell asleep. You really seem to enjoy being carried in the carrier.
So far right now you can lift your head, and roll from side to side. You even rolled from your front to your back once! You don't sleep through the night yet, but you do give me a few good four hour stretches of sleep every now and then, usually you give me a nice long stretch of sleep after your father leaves for work.
Don't get too big too fast baby girl, I don't want to miss anything! I love you.
