Two Weeks Old!

She is supposed to be going to sleep here, but she's just not interested. If she would only stay this quiet & content.
So, she's not perfect. She is a real baby and does cry. Although she is a pretty good baby. Daddy & I have to remind ourselves of that, especially when it's 2am and she's alert and ready to go and we just want to sleep. She fusses some, but not nearly what other babies fuss. We try to tell ourselves that we are lucky that we can pretty easily calm her and figure out what she needs, but try to convince us of that at 2am.
On the go. She's getting the arms & legs thing all figured out. We put her on her back and sometimes she stays there, but many times she rolls herself on her side and lays like that.

Now that she's had 2 weeks at the breast I can do some pumping so that daddy can feed her every so often. Woohoo! We had intended to not give her a pacifier from birth, but we changed our minds while in the hospital and gave her one and she would take it during her first week, but after that she figured out if she keeps spitting it out and fussing that eventually daddy will bring her to mommy and she'll get the boob. She's a smart cookie. Now she flat out refuses to even allow you to try giving her the pacifier. She occasionally will get her thumb in her mouth, but not often. I think it's ok that she doesn't really want a paficier or her thumb - no bad habits to try to break her of later.
