Delaney is one of the very best babies! We are still in some catch up mode on this blog (already, I know). But I want to document some of our highlights, low lights, and little quirks that in a day or two from now I will probably forget!

Delaney is calm and sweet so much of the time. So far, the most difficult part of it all has been nursing. I’ve been struggling with an infection that makes feeding the baby extremely painful, to say the least.

Fun Facts during the first month:

• We hosted Thanksgiving at a week old with my parents, Shannon and Kristin in Boston. Jordan made Turkey, my Mom made a few sides, I made mashed potatoes and it was the perfect meal! Delaney wore her Thanksgiving outfit, we face timed with the Burke Thanksgiving in the evening, and took a walk to the Marriott for coffee.
• Our first family lunch was at Panera Bread at 10 days old
• We often call her Baby Laney
• We started dancing with her to We Will Rock You early in the morning when we hang out with her in bed. She opens her mouth and we THINK she’s trying to smile (Update: this proves to be true as she starts actually smiling to the same thing weeks later).
• She thrashes and snorts when I get ready to feed her. Nobody understands how strong these babies can be but Delaney flails her arms like a maniac so I need Jordan’s help to feed her for the first two weeks.
• She lost a pound 5 days after birth and proceeded to gain 5 oz back in 24 hours.
• Her legs are always in indian style/yoga poses
• She squirms and moves all the time
• We give her sponge baths on the bed and she absolutely hates them
• She doesn’t mind tummy time and has already pushed herself up onto her elbows.
• The doctor called her “advanced” – she’ll probably regret that:)

Had her newborn photoshoot at 10 days old. Here are our favorites:)
