Peep Growling....

Peep was growling in her crib one morning last week. She's a funny girl. :D

Peep has been changing so much lately. She has started babbling and cooing and motorboating her lips a ton more. Just today she talked most of the day! She was totally wound up last night and wouldn't go to sleep, perhaps because she wanted to socialize.
She's been grabbing things and putting them in her mouth. She'll spend time entertaining herself in her play yard or with toys on a blanket (which is new, before she needed constant attention or yelling ensued). She's gotten to where not every time she cries is an all out meltdown of sobbing like it was there for a while. Sometimes it's a little gurgly/talking cry and other times it's a yell. :D
She was yelling the other evening when I was trying to feed her. Hubs gets home from work and walks up and says hi to her. She immediately stops yelling and beams him a big smile. The little imp! She sure loves the dad.
Tonight I rolled her over onto her stomach and she landed with her elbows bent by her side propping her head up! Then I helped her roll back over. I rolled her back onto her stomach and she rolled onto her back all by herself!! What a little smarty. It's amazing to watch her grow and change.

A week or so after giving birth I started wondering what the heck I'd gotten myself into... Peep's a bit colicky. I wanted to go out to the movies and out to dinner and go to China and Belize and go get chai tea whenever I wanted. But then at some point along the way I quit worrying about what I was missing and started enjoying my new responsibilities, started enjoying Peep's smiles and quit minding so much when she cried and just focused on making her happy again. I started feeling like a mom.
This Monday Hubs watched Peep while I went to get a pedicure. I had a terrible time getting out the door. I said goodbye and kissed her little chubby cheeks several times before I FINALLY left.
I'm making sure to enjoy cuddling her and take time to rub my cheek on her fuzzy, lovely smelling little head. She's not going to be little for very long, she weighed 11 lbs. 11 oz. yesterday and she's already 11 weeks old!
According to baby books, Peep's been sleeping through the night since she was about 3 weeks old, which means sleeping 4-6 hours at a time. So not my idea of "through the night"!! She was going to sleep at 7 or 8 and then eating between 12 - 2 a.m. then going a couple hours before eating again. Last week she slept from 8pm to 5am several times, but she's reverted back to the old schedule... Before I know it she will be sleeping through the night by regular definition and I bet I will miss our sleepy middle of the night feedings.
We went to see Hubs's family last week. Peep was a gem on the trip out and was good throughout the week, napping better in the truck (diesel, very loud and vibrate-y) and at the cabin than she ever does here at home!
Here was the highlight of the trip for me... Peach cream cheese pie with fresh peaches (be still my heart) from Tiffany's, a little Amish restaurant... No offense family, it was REALLY GOOD PIE!!

So 6 weeks old is supposed to be the peak of fussiness for babies and today Peep is 6 weeks old... Already I'm noticing that she's a bit easier to soothe, fussy periods do not last as long and for the most part today had a reason (wet diaper, hungry, etc.). Everyone kept telling me it would get easier and it looks like perhaps they were right. ;)
Peep smiled at me yesterday morning when I was changing her diaper. She has a cute little dimply grin and she scrunches up her shoulders when she smiles really big. It was so adorable and made my day. She smiled at me today after I told her I had no idea what I was doing. Then she promptly started wailing. A test? I got a couple smiles from her this evening. Things are definitely looking up!
And here's a cool pic C took of his '62 Galaxie...
