First 4th of July

Another week older! Wow this is going so fast. Today we have reached the 5 week mark. I weighted Anya last week when she was one month old and she had gained 2 lbs since birth weighing in at 8 lbs 10 oz.
This past week Anya and I had our first night on our own without Myles. We went up to the Hood Canal cabin on Thursday afternoon and Myles met us on Friday. It was a fairly easy night but it did feel weird not having Myles there with us.
We had a great fourth of July weekend. The weather was extraordinary and Anya had a lot of babysitters so Myles and I could enjoy all the cabin had to offer. Anya slept well- even through the fireworks- and adapted well to life away from home.
She is starting to become more alert and smiles on purpose now, melting my heart every time she does. She already has Myles wrapped around her little finger.

On the way home from Hood Canal we stopped in Gig Harbor so Anya could meet her great grandfather and great grandmother (Grumps and Gee gee) and also visited with her Oma and Opa.
