A New Day : Gummy

Our smiley baby is even smilier. It's the gummiest, open mouth smile, and when she really gets going she throws her head back smiling. Speaking of gummy, that is Dagny's name according to Hank.

She is happy 99% of the time. When she's not, she's usually tired and just wants us to walk around the apartment a couple times so she can fall asleep. Mark loves to take her onto the balcony all bundled up and rock in the rocking chair. He lives over the train tracks so the loud noises do the trick. Her naps have gotten longer and more consistent. When she's awake she loves to stand and wiggle or look at the American flag over Mark's couch. She's even better at night. We've learned that the when she feeds around 7:00 or 8:00 pm that's the time to put her in her jammies because she will sleep till 1:00am. We used to try and get another feed in there around 11, but she'd still wake up at 1 or 2. After her 1:00 am feed she wakes up again around 5:00 am. I'd say we're doing really well. She occasionally has a bad night because she's spitting up and can't get comfortable. It's my favorite to then let her sleep on her side next to me for a little while. I am pretty sure the culprit of her upset tummy is my love for ice cream, so we are cutting that out😓. The things I do for her...

Her eyes are much bluer, she has lost almost all of the hair she was born with, and she kicked the baby acne. She doesn't seem bigger to me except for in the thighs. Last week she weighed 10lbs. She loves getting a bath and that belly loves to float. She isn't much of a talker yet, but still grunts. When she does let out a coo it's the sweetest noise!
