8 weeks

Eliza is a great little baby. We enjoy her so much and her sister is incredibly fond of her. She is a great sleeper and only fusses when she needs a diaper change or some food. This week she has been smiling a ton, especially when Avery reads to her. Avery gets so excited when she smiles. Heck, we all do. She  did have a stranger danger moment, we think. Our friend held her the other day and Eliza would not stop crying. Took quite some time to comfort her and calm her down. I had to pull out the tricks that calmed Avery that had to do all the time. It was so strange. Thankfully she hasn't done that since. Who knows what was bugging her. I always think it's gas.

Eighth Week Highlights:

• No more newborn clothes, too short! 
• Had a clogged tear duct but it's clear now
• Will sleep from 10-6 almost every night, but for two nights she slept till 8!
• Beautiful smiles

This is fun! I wrote a post about Avery at 8 weeks. Here's the picture from it. I'm pretty sure Eliza cannot hang with the bumbo just yet. I think my babies look just a tad bit alike.

8 weeks

Things that Avery does that make me smile:

1. any time she smiles
2. sometimes when she needs to sneeze and doesn't, she makes this beautiful sound of cooing contentment.
3. the way she moves her arms when she's hungry
4. how she tries to talk
5. when she rolled over in her crib yesterday and didn't cry, but more was in shock at this new thing she could do
6. when i put pants on her, she looks like an old man
7. her face when she's making a big poopy
8. how she will stare at her daddy for the longest time
9. when she looks at herself in the mirror
10. how she calms down when i hold her tight and pat her back
