After Vacation Boredom Sets In...

What Mailey is up to!

Mailey is 6 weeks old...can anyone believe it? She is growing way too fast, and I keep telling her to slow it down! I'm loving this baby-time!
Here are some facts about this 6 week old:
She can hold her head up like a champ.
She has moved to size 1 diapers.
Her eyes are deep blue.
She hates to have her arms swaddled.
She coos at you, especially when Bubba does the elephant noise.
She loves to smile back at you.
She has a lot of stomach junk and sometimes freaks out when she is nursing.
Her poops are projectile and can be heard across the room...or rooms.
She grunts.
She has already been on a 7 hour road trip to see her first mountain.
She loves to have her feet rubbed.
She stares at the letters on her wall in her room forever.
She sleeps about 5 hours at night, then a 3 or 4 hour stretch...on her good nights.
She sneezes a lot.
She loves to be in the sling.
She wants her diapers changed quickly or she is mad.
Her pacifier pops out when she is truly asleep.
She stands up in our arms and scoots across the floor in tummy time.
She loves putting her face by my face :)

That about wraps it up for the 6 week info. She is so much fun! We are trying to figure out the stomach thing. If there is any gas or poop in there, she is not happy at all, then she can't eat, then she is starving, then she is sucking down air, and the cycle repeats itself. Poor baby! How many doses can we possibly give of Mylicon???

3 Weeks

Mailey is 3 weeks old! We still all agree she is just too cute. ;) Our house is about to feel empty because Makenna and Tracen are going on a mini-vacation with Mim and Pop to San Antonio and Corpus. Then we will all be off to Red River, my favorite place to be. I cannot wait to come around into the valley and smell the mountain air! Yippeeee!

Happy 3 weeks, Mailey baby!

I also have to add these...I had to use Makenna's camera and downloaded what was on it. She and Tracen had a photo shoot. I love the thumb hooked in his pocket and the side pose!

A Few Good Weeks

Mailey has been so much fun and we love her more than we could imagine already. We love her little elf face, her soft floaty hair, her deep eyes, and circle mouth! She has been so good...most nights she goes for 5 hours between feedings and then a 4 hour stretch. If I could just get to sleep the instant I'm done feeding her it would help! That 10 or 11pm feeding just makes me want to run around and pick stuff up or take a shower or just watch some show on tv. Awful, I know! I am trying to be ready for bed before that feeding so I can go to sleep, so maybe I will be better? I've also been a little busier, so blogging has gone by the wayside. We have had some wonderful visitors come see us. Thank you so much to all of you who travelled to meet Mailey! Here is a picture review of the last two weeks.
