Maile right after birth (July 11, 2009)
Maile today (August 11, 2009)
Today was Maile’s one month birthday! In some respects its hard to believe that a whole month has passed – and, of course, just as hard to remember back to when it was just the two of us. (Bonus of Maile’s first birthday is that two new friends were born today – not quite birthday buddies, but 11 is a very cool number to share!)
By our count, in the last month we’ve changed ~400 diapers. Maile’s fed ~300 times for a total of ~75 hours (approximately 10 times and 2.5 hours per day) – thanks Mommy! We’ve taken 850 pictures and videos – basically every waking moment (and some sleeping ones too…)
We’ll go to the doctor for the official tally tomorrow, but Maile has gained ~ 2 lbs (from her birth weight) and grown 1-2 inches. She’s also stretched out her sleeping from 2.5 to 4-4.5 hours at night (hallelujah!).
Beyond just the numbers, Maile has had an amazing first month. Chris and I definitely have to thank every one near and far for their notes, calls, emails, visits, and gifts. Proper thank yous will follow soon, but it really has been amazing to share this journey with everyone. Special thank yous to our families – your visits, advice and love have been incredible. And also to our San Francisco crew – it’s been so much fun introducing you all to Maile and starting this next part of our journey alongside good friends. It really is exciting that this little girl can bring so much joy to everyone!
Did you say 850 pictures? Enough already!
