Pretty in Pearls

Well, Friday she was 8 weeks old! I am guessing that she weighs at least eleven and a half pounds by now - she is really chunking up! She sure has grown - I can especially tell when someone else is holding her how much longer she has gotten. We won't know for sure until her two month checkup on Monday the 17th. I am excited to see the real numbers!

We hung out around the house Friday, just playing together. It was a good day. I think I heard the beginnings of her laugh! She is learning to smile, and is just so cute. I keep trying to get them on the camera but they always seem to allude it. Bill picked up the pictures we took at Sears - they were finally ready!

Saturday Bill let me sleep in while he took care of her. It was much needed. I have not been sleeping well for the past week. I toss and turn for an hour or so after she goes to bed (anywhere from 10:30-11:30pm) and then am up with her again 3-5 hours later. Usually not able to get back to sleep after that feeding until after Bill leaves at 7am. Makes for very long days. Saturday afternoon we took a drive up near Diana (about 10 minutes north of Longview). Bill and I have begun to look for a house. We are not quite ready to buy yet, but we are keeping our eyes open in that area. We saw a couple up there that looked interesting.

Today has been a challenging day. I am just plain tired. The crying is starting to grate, and I am obscenely irked that I have not been able to get a good picture of her all day. She looks so cute today, but anytime I get her in a good spot to take a picture all hell breaks loose. So today's picture is her cuteness + screaming. :-/

I really wish I could post some video files, so you could see her playing in her bouncy seat, watching her mobile, etc. She just looks and sounds so adorable and I am sorry you guys are missing out on it!
