Carrington- 10 Weeks Old

Carrington is growing like the little weed that she is! I know it doesn't seem like she does very much, but compared to when she was born, she has changed tremendously! She is SO CLOSE to rolling over, and every time I watch her try, everything inside of me wants to give her a little push, but I know that won't "count", so I don't help at all :).

I have been a total Nazi about not letting her drink more than 4 oz. every 3-4 hours (mostly because she's a puker), but this past week I gave in and I'm now letting her have 5 oz. at a time. Poor little thing was starving! I know most of you don't care about these random facts, but I want to document it so that I remember.

She's been an angel going to work with me 2-3 times a week, but now that she is spending more time awake, David (my boss) and I decided she really needed to feel more at home in my office, so we bought her an office swing that will hopefully entertain her a little bit more!

She is smiling like crazy, and her "tickle spot" is just under her chin. With Trey I had to act like a maniac just to force a smile out of him, but she is the exact opposite- she gives away those smiles without even trying!

Here's a short story that melted my heart: This morning (Jan. 11th), I had gotten Trey out of his crib and he was playing in the bedroom while I was finishing up getting ready (brushing my teeth, putting on makeup,...). All of the sudden it occurred to me that it was abnormally quiet in the bedroom. When I took a look around, I didn't see Trey anywhere and I was about to start calling for him when I looked over and discovered the sweetest thing- Trey had climbed into Carrington's cradle and was snuggled up next to her falling asleep. Now, as a parent, I know this is extremely dangerous on so many levels: 1) How did Trey manage to climb in there? 2) What if he had fallen on top of Carrington and suffocated her or hit her head, or hurt her? 3)How did I let so much time go by and not check on him?. But, as a mommy, I almost cried it was so precious to see him love her so much. Don't worry- I promptly removed him and had a discussion about how he is not allowed to climb into the cradle! :)

Other than that, she is cooing and smiling, trying to roll, and sleeping like a little champ!
