What I Love About You ~ 3 Weeks

At 3 weeks, you weigh 10 pounds 1 ounce and are 23 1/2 inches long.



A sweet friend made this labor-of-love ~ this quilt for you. I love it. It has Proverbs 3:5 embroidered on it ~ "Trust in YHVH with all your heart. . ." {Todah, my friend!} It matches one of my favorite outfits for you, so I took some 3 week old photos of you on it.



I Love...

• what a good little nurser you are. 


• what a content baby you are.


• how healthy and strong you are.

• how you pull your little legs up and raise your arms.

• what a sweet little face you have.

• how you look like you are ready to roll over already!

• how wide awake and alert you are (when you are awake!).

• your strawberry blonde highlights (or is that reddish brown hair?).

• how you try to stick your whole hand in your mouth. 

• how much everyone loves to hold you.

• how much every loves you!

• how cute you look in your new bouncy seat (I bought it so you could be near us while doing school when Mommy needs a free hand). 

Your outfit was a gift from another sweet friend!

• how sweet and snugly you look in the co-sleeper, all swaddled up.  

I read a new book this week. It is called The No-Cry Sleep Solution. I am going to type up my thoughts more in another post because I am learning so much (and I don't want to forget). Here, I am learning about safe co-sleeping. . . 

. . . and how to put you to sleep without nursing. Here is my first attempt at a sleep association:

It is a white noise maker, but the only one I like is the rain sounds. 

And I love this co-sleeper, but you are already almost too big for it. 

I will probably put the bassinet by my bed again, except that I like it downstairs too much ~ you nap in it during the day. 

Of course, this is a common napping spot, too:

Look how big you are getting!
