CSO - and other new names.
We know we need to focus on calling her by her real name, but it's so hard when she inspires such great nicknames! (Plus, Daddy always calls her Elizabeth, and Mommy calls her Bessie. Poor kid!)
Here's the new list that you can add to her in-utero names (B and BNut are still in use as is Busy B) :
Bessie Boo Bear
Boo Bear
Boo Beary Crunch
Beezus (as in, "I love you to pieces, you silly Beezus)
Chief Snuggle Officer (CSO)
Snuggle Butt
Snuggle Monster
Booger Pie

FIVE WEEKS OF FUN!
Well, Miss Bessie is now 10 pounds, 10 ounces and 21" long already! She's growing like a cuddly little weed. She's also starting to really smile now. I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get a video of it very soon for everyone!
The Grandmas came up over the last week and a half. I put up a picture of Grandma Beth last week, and this week there is a picture of Grandma Jolene and Aunt Nicky to put up! Bessie sure is loved!
We're venturing out in the world a lot more now with our new "family" car. Yesterday we visited some "big" kids (5 and 6 month olds!) and we're going to the park with Robyn's family again on Thursday. I could get used to this mommy schedule...except for the sleeping...
Bessie still sleeps when it's dark, but she also still needs to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours...until...WHAT'S THIS? She slept from 8pm to 1am last night!!! We couldn't believe it! And she didn't torture mommy with the 3am, 4:30, 5:50 routine, either. She was up at 4 and again at 6:15am. Could we be turning a corner? Probably not, but we hope so! Mommy and Daddy could use the rest!

ONE MONTH ALREADY!
Tuesday marked Bessie's one month birthday. I can't believe it's already been a month! I can't believe it's only been a month! It's gone so quickly, and yet, it seems like she's always been here.
We're starting to see some intentional smiles! As soon as I can capture a few cute ones on the camera, I'll put them up!
We're trying to work on a routine, but it's been a little difficult - more guests keep pouring in. The good news is we're settling back in to it today, and after the last of the grandmas leave on Monday we should be able to re-establish fairly well. Make fun of tummy time, song time and book reading time all you will, but it helps settle her down for her naps! (and more naps supposedly equals better sleep at night. or any sleep at night. we'll take any!)
I attached a few photos from Tuesday (her "birthday") so you can compare her growth from 4 weeks ago! Hugeness! We get weighed again on the 30th, and I'm excited to see what kind of progress we're making. Unfortunately, she's asleep in both photos. Turns out Bessie and Grandma like to skip activity time in favor of snuggle time - and you know what? when you're 4 weeks old, that's just fine.

Squeezing in a few...
We're about to be a whole month old on Tuesday! And today we ate lunch out...at a restaurant...in public...and she slept like a little BNut in her carrier. We've been out on walks, out to the park, and all over the town!
She does have a new trick, "the witching hour." She likes to be inconsolable from 7:30pm to 8pm now. Scream, scream, scream. It's really fun and we're all big fans.
But let's not focus on that - let's enjoy the cuteness! We're not sure if these smiles are intentional or not, but anytime between 4 and 6 weeks is when we can expect them...as soon as they are intentional, you can bet a little video will go up on here!
