6 Weeks

Bailey is six weeks old today!  See her above? I told you she is crazy strong!  She does little baby push ups all the time.  I have a hard time holding her sometimes because she is so squirmy and strong.  She weighed 8 lbs 15 oz today.  She’s starting to outgrow newborn pajamas.  That makes me sad, lol.  Brooklyn wore newborn clothes for.ev.er.  Until she was almost five months old….so that is new for me!  She has some interesting hair growth.  Hardly any in the front, and a ton in the back.  Do you like her comb-over?  The jury is still out on her eyes.  Yesterday they looked brown, today they look blue…who knows?  I am still clinging to the fact that as her hair is brown, she MUST look like me.  Right?  Yeah, I know….she looks just like Brooklyn, who looks just like Gavin!  She is still pretty sleepy, but doing well.  She is also very spoiled.  In the next three weeks we will be working on sleeping in places other than ON me, and taking a bottle better.  She’s starting to smile more and more, and make little sounds.  Brooklyn was a talker from day one, so the lack of noise is also new for me.  Brooklyn is still adjusting really well.  I love that she can articulate her insecurities about things without crazy tantrums.  The other day she was like, “Mom, I have an idea, Bailey can stay in the bed until she cries, and you can come do a puzzle in my room!”  I took that to mean she needed a little more attention.  She LOVES this baby.  I have to watch her because she will climb in the crib with Bailey and force her binky in her mouth or cover her all up with blankets.  She will NOT, however, throw dirty diapers away for me.  Smart girl.  She’s getting so big, I can’t believe it sometimes.  It’s funny how I was so resistant to her growing up until I had a tiny newborn.  That could be a dangerous pattern, lol.  Here she is the other day being a goof-ball:

We are all doing really well.  We had some news on the boys.  I was appreciative of the update.  It is still difficult every day, but we are hanging in there.  I have been missing them a lot.  Here’s one more of my squishy, have a good week!
