Weeks 5-8

5 weeks:  this has been a super rough week for you sweet girl. Your tummy is so upset and you really do not like to eat. We are both very tired. 

6 weeks:  after 18 hours of straight tears and some blood in your stool, we finally determined you are allergic to milk!  You are on soy now and it has totally changed our lives. My happy girl is back. You even flashed your first smile at us this week!

7 weeks:  you are still just rocking along. You have found your hands and feet this week and you love when we sing "if you're happy and you know it". When I help you clap your hands you smile so big. You love to lay on your changing pad and gaze at your blingy mirror, too!

(You finally let Ebbie give you a bottle. It was a kodak moment!)

(Big brother wanted in on the action too. Such a great helper!)

8 weeks:  I can't believe it has been 8 weeks since you were born. You are such a good baby and I love listening to you babble and coo in the mornings!  We have our own little conversations every day.
