10 Reasons I Love........

this little gal.......(there are obviously more reasons but I had to have a limit)
1.


Every time I put her in her crib and turn on the mobile she lays there and stares at it and smiles, laughs, coos, kicks her little legs, and flails her little arms!
2. Her scrumptious cheeks.....I swear I give them kisses a thousand times on each cheek everyday.
3. She has the best facial expressions....when she wants attention, but isn't really that mad, she sticks her bottom lip out SO far and gets tears welled up in her eyes, but then if we look at her she makes her little half smile which turns into a full on smile....dimples and all.
4. She has this little squeal she makes when she gets excited......she is in her crib right now watching her mobile and she just made it! I love it!
5. Going to bed sometimes can be a task, last night I did it 5 times and she woke up after 15 minutes and every time I went back to get her or put her binky back in she would look up at me and grin, like she was saying "Tricked ya mom, I wasn't really asleep!"
6. I know hen she wakes up because I can hear her trying to stretch and then she usually passes gas......really loud.
7. If she is freaking out and I am about to feed her I usually put her on her back on my knees while I get ready and she know she is about to get food. So she automatically stops crying and does this little laugh/coo saying, "FINALLY!"
8. She always grabs onto my fingers while I am either rocking her to sleep or feeding her, I love the feeling that I am wanted and needed!
9. This never happens with other babies and me, the other day the termite guy came and she was lying on the floor and he was bending down and smiling and talking to her.....she just stared at him and then started screaming....I picked her up and she stopped. Usually, I am the one the baby is screaming at and never the one that gets to calm them.......it felt pretty good.
10. She loves the bath.....she kicks so much at the water and it scares her so she stops and then does it again! I can always calm her in there!
Ok....I had to add one more.......
11. I can't get over how much love I have for her...even when she is screaming so loud and can't stop....who knew a crying baby would still be sooooo cute!

Growing Fast

It is hard to believe our little girl is 7 weeks old already, has it really been that long since I gave birth? It is amazing to have so much love for something so little. I love to kiss her chubby cheeks, they keep getting chubbier as the days go on. I think that is where all the food goes! She caught my cold a couple of weeks ago and just got over it a few days ago, I felt so bad for her, when she tried to breath out of her nose it whistled! She is kind of getting into more of a routine, but her naps during the day are pretty random.....sometimes she sleeps for hours, other times just under a half hour. At night, she has more of a routine now and will sleep for longer. She usually only wakes up around two times. Enough talk, I know you all want to see pictures!
