3 Weeks Already??!!

My sweet baby is already three weeks old!! Some days that feels like it's been an eternity but even on those days I still feel like, wow, she's already three weeks!! :) I'm starting to get the hang of some things. Our nighttime routine is working wonderfully. As in, I can tell that it's starting to set in for her because around 9:30 she starts getting really fussy so that's my cue that it's time to start getting ready for bed. I've just now put her in bed and she makes a few crying noises, but that only lasts a few minutes and then she falls asleep. Yay!! And most nights we wake her up twice to feed her (although sometimes she wakes us up) and she'll usually sleep until 9:30 or 10:00 in the morning. Hopefully that will continue after we're allowed to cut out all overnight feedings. I'm so glad she appears to love sleeping as much as Ryan and I do!!

Today I attempted to take some pictures of her and the expressions that she makes because she is so precious! She's always making adorable faces and she explores her tongue a lot. It is absolutely adorable! However, my pictures do not reflect her cuteness as much as I wanted them to. I'll still post a couple of them, but they turned out blurry and in some of them she looks more like a boy! :) Oh well...I'll keep trying. Maybe I should quit taking pictures on my camera's "auto" setting and start using the setting for moving objects! Hope you enjoy anyway!

Okay, this pictures doesn't look blurry if you look at it this size. When it's enlarged, it's blurry. But doesn't she look like she has no hair?? :) It almost looks like a different baby!! But there's the tongue thing I'm talking about!This one would be a lot cuter if she hadn't moved her arm! See the sad scrape on her knee? The wedge we had her sleeping in attacked her last night! Apparently, she moved around so much she knocked the wedge off its velcro. Then her sock got stuck to the velcro and somehow in all that mess, the velcro scratched her knee...poor baby! :( But she's a trooper!One of the better ones from tonight...still haven't fully captured her cuteness for the day though! :)

Glad she's "settling in". Every day is easier than the day before:) She's a keeper.

About Me

My photo
I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)
