In search of thumb...

Yes... Carlee's been searching for her thumb alot lately. She's actually only found it once so far, but she is still determined. She's been getting her hand to her mouth, but she doesn't realize that she keeps her hand in a little fist with her thumb between her first two fingers. So, as she searches for her thumb she's only got the side of her hand in her mouth. She's so cute to watch!

Duh....

Why didn't I think of this before?!?

Carlee hates taking her naps anywhere but in my arms... and if I wait a while and let her sleep, then try to put her in her bed she wakes up... and cries, until I let her fall back asleep in my arms. So, this morning, I was holding her as she slept after breakfast, and I realized that the slope of her swing chair is almost the same as if she were laying on my chest. I asked daddy if he thought she would stay asleep if I laid her belly down on the swing instead of on her back. So, I tried it, and she stayed asleep! Now, maybe I'll be able to get some chores done... as long as she doesn't figure it out. lol...

mommy and daddy aren't very interesting....

We've come to the conclusion that we just aren't very interesting to our little girl... lol... She loses interest in things so quickly! If we put her in the crib and turn the mobile on, she's content for maybe ten minutes... maybe, then she starts crying. If we play with her with a toy, she's happy for five minutes. If something catches her eye, she'll look at it for a minute or two, and then start up again. I think that's why she likes for me to carry her while I walk around the apartment. It gives her lots of different things to look at, and it gives mommy a work out. :)

She's so DARN cute!

Even when she cries! We can't help but laugh :)

ONE MONTH

Wow... what can we say? This past month sure flew by fast! We can't even believe it! Carlee has definately grown some, exactly how much we don't know though. Her next check up isn't until the two month mark. She is smiling, cooing (though not in response to us yet), and learning that she has control over her arms and legs. She is always kicking away trying to get somewhere, and she's recently started reaching for things, like the mobile above her crib. We've decided to start letting her spend some time each day on her belly on the floor to help her start strengthening her neck muscles and her desire to become mobile, otherwise she might let mommy carry her til she's twelve! lol...

Three weeks old!

Our Family

One of a Kind

Wow... three weeks old. We can't believe how fast time is going right now. Little Carlee is peacefully asleep in my arm as I try to type this with only my right hand. She is really so wonderful. She's smiling alot more often now and even laughing... well, kind of, we know she would be laughing, but for right now it's still just the movement with no sound. Grandma gave her her first real bath last night. We've been having to give her sponge baths until her umbilical cord fell off, and her belly button healed. Now she's all better though. She loved her bath, when she was in the water anyway... as soon as we took her out, that's when he got mad lol. She still sleeps alot, but when she's awake she's a whole lot more alert than she used to be. She's already gaining so much more control of everything, her eyes, her movements, her parents LOL... She's definately going to be a one of a kind little girl... she already is.

Two weeks old
