4 Weeks Old!

February 17, 2009

Today, Elyana is 4 weeks old.  I can hardly believe how fast time is going by.  She is changing so much every day: her cheeks and thighs are getting chubbier, she makes eye contact and follows our gaze, she holds her head up for a few seconds, and she even smiles at us.  I know some people will insist that it’s gas and she’s not really smiling.  While I agree that most of the time it is gas, there have been a couple of times where Collin or I are smiling huge smiles at her, and she smiles right back.  It’s the best feeling in the world when your daughter looks at you and smiles.  I can’t wait to hear her giggle for the first time.

We’re still pretty sleep deprived, as Elyana just doesn’t understand why Mommy and Daddy get into  bed each night and turn out the lights.  That should be party time, right?  But, we know that sleep deprivation will only last for a time, and we’re praying that this time will be up soon!

We’ve been able to get out a few times - to restaurants, church and the mall and Elyana sleeps through every outing we go on.  The first few times we went out, I was a nervous wreck.  I would check on her every 2 seconds to make sure she was still breathing!  Now, I only check on her every 5 minutes, so as you can see,  I’m getting way better!

Well, my little munchkin is kindly letting me know that she’s hungry, so duty calls!

Love and hugs to you all,

Kyla
