Marina is 5 weeks old!

She now weighs 10 pounds, 1 ounce and is 22 inches long! She's smiling and making really cute sounds.

Eyes wide open after a bath, 4 weeks

Marina's smiling because she's one month old, May 5, 2009!

We can't believe a month has already passed. It's been an amazing journey so far. Marina is keeping us busy and awake at night, but it's not so bad! Sometimes she sleeps for 3-6 hour chunks at night, which we appreciate. We also appreciate all the support from all our friends and family over the last month. Thanks so much to all who've visited and cooked for us.

Marina's first visit to the beach

After 3 weeks at home, we ventured to Baker Beach to escape the heatwave in San Francisco. Marina slept in her sling the whole time, but we're sure she heard the waves.

Marina's growing! She's 3 weeks old!
