my baby girl is eatin' well these days...coming in the 75%ile for weight at 11 lbs 10 oz and 80%ile for height at 23 1/4 inches long. of course, her weight doesn't quite compare to her brothers who were all over 14 1/2 lbs at this age! she seems so tiny to us and i'm hanging on to all her newborn-ness as long as i can :) she's become a pretty predictable baby...staying awake for about an hour at a time and then falling asleep on her own by shoving her fist in her mouth. it's only a matter of time before she relaxes her hand enough to find that thumb! of course, she likes to scrunch up the blankie with her other hand. she's still nursing about every 2 hours during the day, but she'll sleep for a good 6-8 hour stretch most nights. she's starting to give us tons of big smiles and at times looks like she's gonna belt out a big squeal or something, but instead we get a tiny little coo. must be a girl thing :) she loves her playmat now and will bat at the toys on it. she still likes her binkie, especially when she's in the snugli or her carseat. her hair has NOT fallen out yet!! by this time, her brothers were all losing theirs, so i'm wondering if she might keep it. it still looks like she has blonde roots, but i have yet to find clumps of hair anywhere :) her little eyelashes seem to grow more every day. in fact, they've started curling up to where you can see them when she opens those big, blue eyes. i love them!! she's just so sweet & happy...it's still unbelievable to me at times that she's mine :)
