5 weeks old

amelia is 5 weeks old today.

notes:

- I love watching her sleep. it's incredible to think about all the tiny organs funtioning perfectly inside her.

- I want to nibble on her chubby cheeks all the time.

- it drives her nuts when Jeremy and I kiss her to pieces.

- we have mastered bottled feeding. we can now officially have babysitters! also, I have discovered the greatness of nursing in bed.

- everyone always tells me that she has the most expressions they have ever seen on a baby. it's true! she has had attitude since she was in the womb! it never gets old.

- she has lost the top part of her hair, and now looks like a balding old man. a very cute balding, old man that is.

- she grew out of newborn diapers this week. and her newborn clothes are starting to become tight.

- exhaustion is a constant now, but I'm getting use to the random spurts of energy I get. it's incredible, I feel like I'm a teenager again.

- falling asleep with her on top of me is the best. we love our naps together.

- she has a habit of fussing and kicking me until I get out of my queen sized bed. so she can have the entire thing to herself (spoiled).

- I usually don't get to eat breakfast until 10 am, even though we're usually up by 7.

- sometimes she goes from being sound asleep to screaming her head off uncontrollably. we think she has nightmares?

- she is getting to be more alert during the day, and sleep longer during the night.

- I still wake up to every little noise she makes.

- her crying is still the cutest thing.

- and her big eyes. I love her big eyes.

- she has rolled over twice more from tummy to back. and she can support most of her weight when she stand her up.

- we can't wait for her nursery to be done!

- sometimes I threaten that she won't get any siblings if she doesn't stop crying. Jeremy thinks it's funny.

- she hates not being held. especially she is awake. held: not crying; not held: screaming. any tips?

- I giggle everytime she lets out a long toot or huge burp.

- she has long strands of sneezes, like 5 or 6 at a time. she got that from me.

- I love that she looks like a burrito in her swaddle me.

- She has a deathgrip in her tiny fists when she is nursing.

- I love her "zoombie arms" when she is dead asleep. :)

- I still can't believe what a miracle she is!
