5 Weeks

Amelia is 5 weeks old today! She has been much more settled the last two days. Not sure what it is exactly but I am just going to keep doing what I'm doing! She seems to know who people are and what's going on around our house now. Last night when I put her on the table to get ready for her bath, she looked at me with complete understanding as to what was coming next. No, really she did! She loves her bath, can't wait till she is a bit bigger and we can have one together.

Last night at 1am I put her in bed after a feed and she went straight off to sleep, no rocking, shushing, patting, gently laying her in bed and having her eyes fly open again or anything! I was stunned for a few minutes and quickly hopped back in bed and hoped she stayed asleep, which she did. I, on the other hand, couldn't get back to sleep - the first time that has happened too, since she was born.

Amelia now has her very own NZ passport, so we are all set to be able to leave at the end of the month back to Japan. I hear it's really really hot over there...it's been really cold here in NZ so the change in temperatures is going to be rough on me, I hope Amelia adjusts better than I do.
