1 Month Old

Delaney is already 1 month old! On July 15th, she weighed in at 7 lbs 15 oz and 20.5" long. On Saturday, she met her grandma and grandpa Dean for the first time.  Uncle Danny, Aunt Elizabeth, and cousin James Westerman visited and got to spend time with her. She's able to track moving objects with her eyes, and she is starting to use her voice to make "ooh" and "ah" sounds. She began using a pacifier this past week (she's loving it). 

In a milk coma. I love that little tummy:

 So much to look at! She seems to enjoy it:

Her little foot is as long as my middle finger:

3 Weeks Old

Delaney is 3 weeks old today! Right now:
- She's going through an average of 15 diapers per day.
- She seems to be most awake and alert around 3:00/4:00am.
- She doesn't like her arms being tucked into a swaddle. She fights it and always manages to push her arms out.
- She loves sleeping with either her hands touching her face, or with her arms stretched above her head.
- She doesn't mind tummy time. She spends most of the time pushing her booty into the air, but she does a great job picking up and turning her head every now and then.

Meeting her cousin, James, for the first time:

I take way too many pictures of her sleeping. I can't help myself.

She found her thumb again! She was tired of waiting for me to feed her:

1 Week Old

She's so teeny!

Sleepy with a full tummy in the middle of the night:

We caught her sucking her thumb for the first time:

The Big Day!

On Saturday, June 22, 2013, we delivered our daughter! Delaney Evelyn Winchester was born at 8:35am and weighed in at an adorable 6 lbs 12 oz, 19.5 inches long.

Our New Home

With a baby on the way, we realized how important it would be to set up a home base in Madison. We've been looking for a home for awhile and finally found The One. Today was closing day - March 15, 2013. We can't wait to raise our baby girl in this house!

20 Week Ultrasound

At our 20 Week Ultrasound, the doctor made sure that everything was going well with the baby. Her bones are growing well, her heart is beating strongly, her bladder was full (meaning her kidneys are doing their job), and she's moving around quite a bit! According to the ultrasound, she weighs approximately 14 ounces right now.

Her hand is up by her face, and her mouth is open:

Our little acrobat is folded in half. Her legs are bent over her head:

It might be hard to see, but she's grabbing her big toe with her left hand:

She discovered her toes! Her left arm is above her forehead and her toes are in her mouth:
