Bella is 6 weeks

Wow, I can't believe how quickly time is passing....Bella is 6 weeks old already.  It almosts feels like it's been just one REALLY long day since she was born!!  This week she has reached some major milestones.....
-We are getting our first smiles out of her....and it's not just gas!  It's usually during bath time and when looking at her reflection in the mirror, both of which keep her entertained for a long time.  Although I find it really hard to manage giving her a bath by myself in the mornings I do so because when David and I tried to do it together at night it was just too stimulating for her.  The smiles make it worth it!
-She has really started cooing.  She has the cutest little voice.  She has a rattle she is particularly fascinated with that she will kick her legs, try to reach for, and coo at.  Oh, I just want to eat her up she's so cute!!!
-The past 3 nights she has slept 6 hours at a time, and could have slept longer but I wake her up.  Some of you reading this are probably thinking, "why on earth would you wake a sleeping baby?"....it's all about milk supply.
-I think my drastic milk-protien free diet is working.....let's just say Bella's baby poop is starting to look like proper baby poop once again!!

For the first time in awhile David had the weekend off so it was great getting to spend family time together.  I took advantage of his being home to go have a little girl time Friday night.  I left Bella with him for two hours and bless his heart she cried the WHOLE time!!  Saturday was such a beautiful day that we went shopping at an outdoor outlet center....it's sooo nice to be able to try on clothes again!  Sunday we of course watched the superbowl...we went over to one of our neighbor's house who is from Louisiana....let's just say it was REALLY loud....after about 2 hours Bella had had enough of that!  And thus begins another week.....

I sure hope my darling doesn't develop a weight complex as I affectionately refer to her as my "chunky monkey"....how can you not, look at those cheeks!!!!

This picture below CRACKS me up....David says she looks like Aunt Jemima!

I need to be better about capturing more pictures of the three of us....I love this one because we are all smiling!
