I love love love that Josie can go from all out serious when shes with me

to full goofy grin as soon as she sees Nick.

She's such a hoot!

Miss Blue Eyes

Despite the acid reflux, temper, and the napless days, we are smitten with our daughter ("our daughter" is still weird to say). And her smiles are killer, we both melt at the sight. The real story is that I have been blessed with a night sleeper. She has never really woken me up at night to eat. And I had no idea it was bad to let them sleep more than 4 hours before they hit 6 weeks. So after education from a lactation consultant I was having to wake her up for nightly feedings. Believe me when I tell you that a beeping alarm with a snooze button at 3am is much more difficult to get up for than a crying baby. Now that we passed the six week mark I am now aloud to let her sleep more than 3 hours between feedings at night, hallelujah! She is now sleeping about 6-8 hours in a row. Great for her, but bad for me, I usually end up waking her about 5-6 hours since I am so engorged. I know I could pump, but I would rather fill her belly so she will surely sleep another 3-4 hours. It's selfish I know, but I think of it as a win-win. Since the nightly sleep deprivation has diminished, my days are so much brighter. Her longest nap during the day is 20 minutes, so I don't get much down time. I am hoping she will get into a daily nap pattern in the next few months so she is not so cranky. The girl just can't stay asleep when the sun is up!!

But my real question is will she keep that dark hair and dark blue eyes???


I was trying to take a self portrait with the SLR camera....believe it or not this was the best of many.

Here is an unsuccessful tummy time, I thought she was awake enough and in a good mood. But she started to cry so the finger pacifier worked and soon she was asleep.
