6 Weeks Old

It dawned on my this morning that not only is Bree 6 weeks old today, but my maternity leave is half over! I'm not ready to think about going back to work yet ... blah!

Pic of the Week:

Its been a busy week for us so there's lots to share. We had our first play date, our first trip to the grocery store and our first excursion outside for a walk. On a slightly melancholy note, Bree's starting to outgrow her newborn outfits after only getting to wear them a few times. I'd bought some of the cutest footed sleepers at Target and now, they're not long enough for her little legs, as she very loudly informed me a few days ago. She woke up from her nap in a fit and as soon as I unswaddled her, she tried to stretch her legs out. But, they didn't stretch out all the way, much to her very vocal dismay. So, I've put all the newborn footed pajamas aside to be put in storage (sniffle). My baby girl's growing up way too fast!

Speaking of growth, she's having another growth spurt. I can't seem to keep her little tummy full the last few days (or nights)! She's eating more frequently, which is more than slightly exhausting for me. I think she's having growing pains though because there are times where all she wants is to be cuddled and comforted, which I don't mind at all. I'll take all the cuddle time I can get!

Now, for some pictures of our first play date. We went to see Ashley and Carter Simons for an afternoon. I don't think Bree realized she was on a play date but Ashley and I both enjoyed the chance to catch up and have someone else to talk to besides our little ones. We've both realized there is nothing on TV during the day and just how precious those afternoon naps are. Here's a picture of our two little cutie pies together! I love the expression on her face in the second picture. Its like she's already starting to think boys are icky. Her daddy thought that was very smart of her to discover at such a young age!
Here's a few random candid photos of her over the last week. I'm getting more camera happy now that she's making all kinds of faces. She's even starting to smile on occasion. Its not a full smile yet, but she's getting there!

She loves her bathtime so its become a more frequent event since its so much fun for both of us. She kicks her little feet and waves those hands around with that half smile on her face the entire time. It won't be too long before she's splashing around and laughing at me who's laughing at her! Here's what she thought of me taking pictures of her in the "picture basket"... this was almost the pic of the week, just because of her funny little face with the tongue sticking out!
That's it for this week ... she's asleep at the moment so its time for me and Moab to go play outside and enjoy the sunshine for a bit!
