Grandpa comes to visit

My dad came to suprise me announcing a visit within a few days

of deciding to come. I was excited for him to come and meet Faith! It was a nice visit. We didn't do much of anything but hang out around the house but we were able to go out to eat twice! Thank goodness my baby is a good sleeper while we are out. Just have to make sure we go during her nap time!

      Friday came and we went to Faith's doctor's appointment. It was supposed to happen at 2 weeks but ours and the doctor's schedule didn't work so we went when she was three weeks old. But received some not so great news. She weighed at only 8.2lbs. She should have gained her birth weight back but didn't. She was still 7 ounces shy of that. So that was upsetting but now I have to see a lactation specialist next week however I believe that I am not producing enough milk... probably something to do with the breast reduction I had done. So I am supplementing formula after each feeding.

I have always been a big fan of Baby Einstein and they say to start it at 3 months but at 2 weeks she began watching a full episode. I was so greatful because when my dad was here I barely had time to do anything and even cook for him. So I put on baby einstein and was able to prepare dinner while she watched it! Thank goodness it gave me some "me" time to get things done!

And here she is watching it totally transfixed.

One afternoon Faith started to cry and I was nearly busy fixing dinner. I kept telling her I would be there in a minute hoping the sound of my voice would be comforting as sometimes that has worked but it didn't this time. All of a sudden the crying stopped and I went into the living room and found my dad had picked her up and was singing to her. She was fixated on him and loved every minute of it as the video proves below.

 

Have I mentioned how much I love the "fussy" pick me up cry. Its not the "cherry tomato" cry but this little one that basically says, "play with me Mommy". So cute!
