Little miss is doing so well. she make our hearts light up!

{@ 2 weeks:}

.. she is awake more often, eating more often, and not sleeping more often!

.. she gets about 1 million+ kisses and so much loving everyday!

.. she is a fan of americas next top model (just like her mama!) and not a fan of any sort of baby apparatus - swing or bouncy.

.. she is past birth weight at 8lbs and grown 1/2 inch

.. she is cuter than any baby. ever.

hanging out with her dad! (don't you love her fun Gdiaper cover!)

i can't get enough of this most precious thing!

more daddy & i'belle time! love that her paci covers her entire mouth and her peace sign.

Recently our weeks/ weekends have entailed many things:

-making last minute sweet Izzy purchases

-daddy dh taking care of business (or TCB as he calls it, or TCBY that I call it .. yes I have a special name for most everything) .. TCB has included arranging for carpet cleaning and tile work to be done, refinishing our outdoor bench and front door, dyer just plain looking cute, the list goes on & on

-relaxing

-reading about delivery

-reading about all things new baby

-counting contractions

-being big and preggers, loving her wee one moving in there

-watching many, many movies

-the other half cooking yummy meals

-keeping the house ready for go time

-packing and repacking the hospital bag

-selling stuff on ebay (.. you know the stuff that is just hanging out in boxes waiting for goodwill - and if you know me - you know I Hate keeping stuff. a nice way to make a few bucks and a good laugh at what things people will buy!)

-relaxing

-dinner dates with friends .. thanks Uma, Castillejos, Kristen, Ali

-more relaxing

-loving on big brother Rowdy
