Check out my SMILE!

Check out my SMILE!, originally uploaded by Full Circle Digital.

Elyana is now 6 weeks old and smiling all the time! A few weeks ago she would smile every once in a while, but now she has honed her smiling skills and is showing off all the time. She’s becoming so much fun. I sit and talk and sing and make silly noises to see what she responds to.

We took this picture on Sunday morning when we were all still lounging in bed. I had just told Collin that she had really started smiling at me in the middle of the night after one of her feedings. Collin was holding her and all of a sudden, she just started smiling at him and didn’t stop! She loves her Daddy!

Speaking of the middle of the night, our little cutie thinks it’s fun to switch her days and nights! Isn’t that the greatest??? She sleeps most of the day and stays up most of the night. Yesterday, I decided to trick her and during the day I woke her up a bunch in the hopes that she would be extra sleepy at night. My plan backfired and I think she was overly tired, and it was our worst night yet. Today, I’m trying to sleep when she does so I can become a functioning person again. We’ll figure it out one of these days.

If this sleeping issue is the worst of it, I don’t think I can complain too much. She really is a great baby. She never cries for more than a few minutes at a time, and it’s usually to be fed, changed and cuddled, then she’s good to go.

Collin and I are so blessed that God has given us Elyana. Every day I thank Him for this gift and the time I get with her each day!

    It was so nice having the two of you over. I know the kids loved playing the “super hero” game with you Kyla. And I always love holding my special little niece! We will have to do it again, soon! I have not looked on your site for awhile, love the pictures. SO CUTE!

    All my love to you all,
    Jenny and the rest of the fam
