Week 6

Whoa... where on earth does the time go? Last Monday was Jovie girl's 6 week milestone. I just can't keep up with all the fun we've been having.

-This girl is still such a sleeper. She usually gives me between 5-6 hours most nights... give or take about 1/2 hour. And still will only sleep on her tummy. Is starting to take a paci though. :) I would honestly say she sleeps about 18-20 hours still most days. Her longest stretches of wakefulness are usually at night. She is up until about 11 most days with us.
-Much more serious than Peyton was at this age. We have just started to get smiles this past week, and they are not easy to get... maybe she likes how hard we try. Or maybe it's 'cuz she sleeps so much she doesn't have enough practice.
-Has a terrible old man receding hairline. It looks like her hair is running away from her face, and the worst part is that the hair in the back is long and dark, which just calls attention to the badness in the front.
-Has the cutest dimple next to her mouth, which we see when she smiles or cries.
-Currently fighting off her second illness in her little life. :( I hate how she suffers and how I can't do much to help... we just keep on suctioning and I have her sleep on my chest so she can breathe.
-Starting to talk and coo more... during the short intervals when she is awake.
-Blows out of an outfit a day most of the time... gross but funny.
-Loves having one eye closed and one eye open. We call it her Popeye look.
-LOVES to be held. I am soooo happy I have a sling for this girl.
-Pretty easy going, especially if she is being held.
-Getting cuter and chubbier everyday. We all just love her to pieces.

Some random photos from wk 6.... I need to get caught up here. Man o' man.

Holy blow out! You be lookin' good, April J; glad you included a picture of yourself. And, I know it is frustrating to have a sick baby but just think of it as building immunity from and early age...it's sort of inevitable when you have a baby this time of year, unless you confine yourselves to home. Carter had an ear infection at 6 weeks and I couldn't figure out how he could've gotten it but people everywhere are sick...especially this year! Anywho, Jovie is a doll and I love how much she is filling out:).
