toes". This looks like she's giving you a "toe's" up :)
A very brief lull in her screaming. This is my favorite picture. I think she looks so pretty :)
This is her BEAUTIFUL blessing dress that my mom got for her. This picture kind of looks like she's floating!
Well, my friend Amanda had a good idea and I'm going to copy her.
This is what Charlotte is up to at 7 weeks old (today!):
1. She is a fabulous sleeper! A couple of times a week she'll sleep for 8-9 hours, but most nights it's about 5-6 hours at a time. During the day she's awake more, only sleeping for 2-4 hours at a time. I love it. I feel like I have a buddy all the time!
2. She absolutely HATES tummy time. The Dr. said she should be up to about 15-20 minutes a day, and she makes it everyday, but is SO miserable when she's on her tummy. There have only been a handful of times that she's enjoyed it. She has had a pretty strong neck since she was born, but now she can use her arms to push up her chest and head.
3. She's really gassy. People hold her and ALWAYS comment on the rumbly noises that come out of her, then the FOUL smell coming after. It's kind of embarrassing. She doesn't ever fuss or act like she's hurting though. She just is gassy, that's all!
4. She makes the funniest faces. She can raise one side of her lip (Elvis style) and one eyebrow. Sometimes she'll look at me out of the corner of her eye and raise the one eyebrow as if to say, "Mom, stop it." It's usually when I'm making ridiculous noises to get her to smile. She also is starting to smile more. Mostly when she first wakes up and I'm changing her diaper.
5. She hardly ever cries. Just before she eats. And when she does eat she acts like she's never been fed in her life!! Any other time she fusses is when she's overstimulated, I think. Like, when there's a lot of noise and she's getting passed around to everyone. Just because at home it's just George and I, so it's usually pretty quiet and low-key.
6. She sings. Well, hums. When she starts to fall asleep she hums until she's out. It's really cute. Sometimes it goes all high pitched and sounds like she's about to cry, but then she takes a deep breath and it goes back down to the soft hum. I love it. I can actually hear her doing it right now on the monitor! At her blessing she slept the whole time and in the circle was humming the whole blessing. When all the men were holding her in the circle, they said instead of bouncing her to make her stop crying, they were all bouncing her from laughing :)
7. She kicks like crazy. Especially when she's being held. My dad said it looks like she's trying to kick start a motorcycle.
8. She loves music. So far her favorites are Black Eyed Peas, any male country singer and Michael Jackson. She'll either smile and kick her legs and pump her fists, or fall asleep :)
Well, that's about it. We just love our little girl. I love being a mother. It's so much fun, everyday! George and I were talking the other day and I just know that her little spirit was sent to us for a reason. Heavenly Father knew what we could and couldn't handle. She's so wonderful and we love her more everyday.
She is also laughing a lot now. It is the best sound in the world! Yesterday we were driving home and I kind of had the music up and was singing along a little. All of the sudden I hear her giggle in the back. I turn down the music and she's babbling away and then she'd just start cracking herself up! It was soo funny!!
That's about it. Someone come visit us! We're bored at home all day.... Really guys, how can you say NO to her face ;)
She's so baldy!
