She’s getting so big!

Well Abs was 5 weeks old yesterday, I can’t believe it’s been 5 weeks already!  She’s getting bigger and bigger everyday.  I love that I have been able to be home with her everyday to see all of the changes.  I am not looking forward to going back to work and missing so much during the day with her. 

I think she’s close to smiling these days.  I can’t wait to get that first big toothless smile that says “I know you’re my mommy!”.  As I said she’s getting bigger everyday.  She’s eating like a horse!  We tried to weigh her (in so much as we weigh ourselves holding her and then weigh ourselves without her) and we believe she’s between 11 and 12 lbs!!  She doesn’t go to the doctors for another 3 weeks so we won’t know for sure until then, but by then she’ll probably be close to 15 lbs if she keeps growing at the rate she is now!   She still has her “orange” hair but her eyes are getting lighter.  I hope her hair stays strawberry blonde or “orange” as we call it, I think it’s adorable.

Well, we just have a visit with my cousins Caroline and Sara and we have a few things to get done around here before the day is over.  I have one more week off before I have to go back to work   so I will try to get another post up next week and then try my hardest to continue weekly updates on the weekends (but we will see how that goes). 

For now we hope everyone is well and hope to see everyone soon.  Take care, love to all.
