Four Weeks Old

Rachel turned 4 weeks old this week! It was a week of "firsts" for us. We ventured out to Wal-Mart and to church for the first time. She did great! She slept during both adventures. We're going to try to go to either church or Sunday School this Sunday. Hopefully she'll do good and the following week we can attempt to attend both! She's also starting to be more attentive to the things around her. She's started noticing all the toys hanging on her play mat, etc.

After looking back through the many pictures we've taken, I realized there weren't many pictures of Rachel with me or Adam, so I attempted to take one of us this week. Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself while holding a squirming baby...we've posted one that turned out ok:o)

Rachel is not a huge fan of tummy time yet, but I'm sure she will be before long. Sometimes she actually almost smiles during tummy time, but most of the time it is a crying struggle to get her to do it for even a few minutes. She's getting stronger though, so I'm sure she'll be a pro at lifting her head in no time at all.

Cade and Laura are coming to visit us next week, so we're really excited about that! Hopefully we'll get a first official picture of the cousins together!
