smiles

i had to share this adorable pic of eleanor.

it seems like each day we get more and more smiles and giggles from her & it is absolutely the sweetest thing ever.

it's fascinating how much a baby changes in a matter of days.

she has more awake time now during the day which has been fun.

she actually is enjoying her play mat, rattles & other toys that entertain her.

her neck and legs are getting stronger and stronger as well.

she loves to stand up on our laps and push up as we lift her by her arms. so cute.

she officially is out of her 5-8 lb clothing (it's tight on her, YAY!) and now is fitting into her newborn clothes.

it's SUPER fun getting to play dress up with her now that i have clothing options!

last weekend i went to visit my sister & had the chance to weigh Eleanor.

she weighed a whopping 8 pounds 4 ounces at 6 weeks.

it's hard to believe that most of my friends babies were born at that weight or bigger!

Eleanor is still eating every three hours or so. sometimes sooner, sometimes later (at night).

i am up on average two times a night to feed...every night is different!

what has been pretty amazing is that i seem to have plenty of energy to get through the day. (that's called mommy endurance i hear).

i haven't really taken naps & i am still able to get all my work done, some from home & some from the office.

blake has been the best husband/father i could ask for.

he is such a huge help which has made this journey thus far pretty easy and so much better than i could ever have imagined.

happy wednesday!
