Sweet Baby,

You have been here (outside of my tummy) for three weeks and two days! You have already grown so much. I tried to weigh you on your third week birthday to see how much you weighed.. 8.3 lbs is what my scale said. Who knows if it is correct but as much as you eat, I believe it! You are a champ eater and sleep between 3.5 and 4 hours at night. You go to bed about 9 PM and wake up about 6, but you go back to bed about 8 and sleep till 11. We only feed you once from 9 to 6! This means every other night Mommy gets a full nights rest- Daddy gets up with you every other night. You love Mommy and Daddy's voices and will follow us with your head if we are walking through the room while talking. You have spent the night with Nona and Poppy four times now. This helps Mommy stay sane and makes me an even better Mommy when you get back. You had your first Courington Family Gathering on Memorial Day this week! You were the hit of the show. You are SO very loved, sweet angel. I hope you always know how much joy you bring to everyone's life. However, Poppy takes the cake for being infatuated with you. He always asks me, "Is this what heaven is going to be like?" when he's holding you! Here are a few highlights since we came home from the hospital.

Love you always,

Mommy
