• She's growing

  She's still teeny tiny, but Veronica is growing.  It may not seem like it to most people, but she no longer fits in some of her newborn size sleepers.  This newborn size is the best thing in a long time in baby clothes.  They fit from 5-8 pounds and actually fit new babies, especially those little ones like Veronica.  No more of this swimming in clothes for months while they try to grow into the 0-3 month size.  I thought it would be awhile yet, but I've had to put away two sleepers in the past 4 nights because they were too short.  This doesn't mean she's getting chubby at all, because she's definitely not chubby, but she's obviously getting longer. I did weigh her the other day and with a clean disposable diaper on she weighed about 8.5 pounds, so she probably closer to 8 pounds.

  Here she is this morning wearing an adorable newborn size outfit she was given.  I'm putting them all on her because I don't think she'll be able to wear them much longer.

  

  Yes, that's a bow on her head.  We're obsessed with them, especially if she's not wearing pink.  Brad doesn't like them at all, he thinks they look like garters on her head, but he quietly accepts them as part of her outfits, at least for now. I know once she has hair and looks more like a girl I may have to stop putting them on her.  Let's face it, after  5 boys, we're getting girly around here and why not?  Girls have cute clothes and accessories and Veronica is taking advantage of it.

  And just because it's a super cute picture...here is the sleeping princess enjoying being held by Daddy.  I know I'm partial, but can you get much sweeter than that sleeping face?
