8 Weeks Old Today!

Give me Some Props for Turning 8 Weeks!

Ok - maybe a different meaning of the word props, but I gave her some. She is propped up on the rocker in the nursery between a pillow & a boppy (which you can barely see, but it does have a new cover on it that Grandma M. made.) She's a pretty happy baby this morning.

Her Carter's outfit is compliments of our newest neighbors (I was going to say new, but they moved in last fall, so I guess they aren't really new). They have a baby boy that will be turning 1 soon. We thought it was very sweet of them to think of Isabel and buy her this little outfit. It is very soft and she seems to like being in it. It is a onesie & dress.


Daddy Gets Ahold of the Camera

Daddy took this picture when he was playing with her and her friends Pierre & Sandy. Right now dad is rocking her to sleep for her morning nap. It is so hot this weekend that I think we'll be indoors all weekend and Isabel will get a lot of quality time with dad, as it is too hot to do anything else, best just to stay relaxed in the a/c.

Big Silly Grin

Daddy just loves how she smiles so big. She is always at her happiest first thing in the morning, which makes me think she is not the child of either one of us. She's also pretty happy when you change her diaper and let her sit & air out for a while. She's not exactly fond of wearing diapers. Since she hates poop & hates diapers, my fingers are crossed that she will be an easy one to potty train later.

Her first sleeping stint last night was only 4 hours, but she pulled a Houdini & wiggled her way out of her swaddling and woke herself up with her arms.

Yesterday, Grandma M. got her to drink a little out of the bottle, but she still won't drink the whole thing. Such a stubborn girl. I think we are going to try feeding by a syringe or cup feeding next.

Got any plans to come over for another visit?

We're thinking our next trip to WI will be late October or early November.
