• Veronica - 2 months old already

  Wow, this is hard to believe.  I really can't believe I'm writing this already.  In some ways it feels like she should only be a few weeks old at most and in other ways it seems like she's been part of the family forever.  Veronica is still the smallest thing around, but is getting bigger.  She's only about 9 pounds, so she's gained about a pound and a half since she was born.  She is 23 inches long though, so she's grown 3.25 inches in two months.  No wonder the newborn clothes aren't fitting, she's definitely gotten long.

  She is the happiest baby around, smiling all the time.
  

  She has the silliest side smile that makes her look like she's winking; she does this all the time and sometimes it's hard to tel if it's a smile or as Grant calls it, her snear
  

  She is probably my best sleeper (at night) since Grant.  She's sleeping 7-9 hours at night, wakes to eat and then goes back to sleep for several hours.  If I could get her to sleep earlier than 10-11pm that would make it perfect, but I'm going to take what I can get at this point.  Of course she is loved by her brothers, which is probably one reason she's always so happy, she doesn't want for much.  She is trying to talk and make noises, but doesn't quite have that down yet, she moves her whole body though; it's really cute.

  A few pictures of her from yesterday and today.  I love this flowered sleeper, but it's a newborn size and she's getting too long for it.  She'll probably only wear it a few more times before it has to get packed away.
   

  I love this outfit.  Matthias told me the last time she wore it that it wasn't girly enough because it wasn't a dress and it wasn't pink; a hair bow solved the lack of girlyness issue.  Today he told me he liked it.
