Elizabeth is 4 weeks old today! In one way, I feel like time has flown and she's growing up too fast :-), and in one way life is at a stand still. Things that happened a week ago, some how seem more like they happened 3 weeks ago. I think it must be that I'm still sleep deprived. Lately, E. has been sleeping just 3 and 4 hour stretches at night. That doesn't seem like a whole lot of sleep to me, or for me. I don't mind a little bit though, since I'm hoping for a chubby baby, and this may be my last chance!
Another perk to these early weeks is that I really, really do think she smiled at me intentionally, two Sundays ago (Sept. 26). That seems really early to me, but she's smirked or smiled at me just about every day since. We were at church and I had to step out of the service because she was making just a little too much noise. I was standing in the doorway to the Sunday School room that has the audio of the sermon and she was looking at me and smiled. Gosh, she has the cutest smile! I can see a little dimple on her right cheek that is so cute. I can't wait to see it more often!
More baby news, I think E.'s eyes are going to be brown. Last Monday, (Oct. 1) I looked at them and they sort of lost their haziness enough to see that they are heading in the direction of brown. Abigail's eyes have sort of morphed over time from blue to something either green or hazel, the jury is still out. We'll see what E.'s do.
Funny quote of the day: Abigail was holding Elizabeth this morning and said to me "No, she's not fussing, she's just grumpy."
Ponderings of the Moment: Should I or shouldn't I use baby money to buy a digital camcorder?
