All Smiles

Vanna has been such a sweet joy in our lives. Vanna has smiled alot since her birth mainly because the poor thing was a little gassy (she'll hate it when she's older and finds out I told everyone that :)) but she has just started to smile, for real, and coo - it's adorable. Her first smiles were for her daddy-no fair.

Vanna is growing like a weed. She had her two month old doctor's appointment last week and weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs. 12 oz. Ty and I always make bets on what the kids' weight is going to be at their appointments and he was closer this time. I was off by more than a pound. Vanna took me by surprise. Her little cheeks and thighs are not so little anymore.

For the longest time Vanna was our Sleeping Beauty all day long and hungry all night but I think she's finally getting things figured out. For three nights now Vanna has slept 6-7 hours straight - so now mommy is all smiles too! This is wonderful compared to the 3 or 4 or 10 she used to wake up before.

It's amazing to me how quickly babies grow and learn. Vanna is already spoiled because she throws a fit when she's set down. We always give in because she's such a cuddle bug and that goes away too fast. We also give in because when she gets mad-she gets mad and immediately turns bright red and hardly breathes from crying so hard. Of course it all shuts off when you pick her up. Is it too early for her to be having mood swings :)? Regardless of her temper and impatience we love her to death and are so happy she's a part of our little family!
