6 weeks old

That's right... seams like just yesterday I was crying because I thought I would never go into labor and here we are 6 weeks old. We're starting to get to know this new little person in our home and this is what we know about her so far...* She's started giving out a few smiles, although she is very picky about who she gives them to.
* She still spends most of the day sleeping... hurray!
*She doesn't like to be cuddled much. When she is held she insists on being held face out so she can see the world around her. Even her 11 year old Uncle Dave has figured that out about her. The other day when Uncle Adam was holding her, he is Adelle's husband, she was fussing and Dave said "you have to hold her out... not against your chest she doesn't like that." I think its interesting that even an 11 year old can pick up on that characteristic.
* She has already slept through the night twice and usually only wakes up once! I love that about her.
* She doesn't really cry... she mostly just has a high pitch squeal. Cute at first but not so much anymore. I'm kind of over the squealing and welcome the crying. She has to get really upset to break into an all out cry.
* She doesn't like a binki and gives a disgusted look any time one is put in her mouth. I think she might like to suck her thumb but has never been able to coordinate that.

(Oh... a littly FYI... Eve doesn't suck her thumb any more!!!)

For the most part she is just a little sweet heart and we are so glad to have her in our home. Can't wait to get to know her a little more!
