Amber 2 months

Happy 2 months, sweetheart!

You have the most adorable and contagious smile!  It lights up your whole face and starts right in those darling blue, blue eyes.  And you dole out smiles for anyone who will give you any attention.

You are a wonderful sleeper, just like your sisters.  We can usually count on 8-10 hours of sleep in a row, followed by another 2-3 to finish the night.  What a blessing!  You were especially wonderful the night that mommy had a gallbladder attack and you slept over 10 hours-that was a tender mercy.

We all enjoyed a beautiful blessing day with you.  All your grandparents came, plus your Poulsen cousins and Caroline.  We had a fun lunch on the front lawn and everyone thought you were so darling, which of course you are.

Emily loves to call you Amber Bamber.  Savannah has nicknamed you Poof Poof.

Thanksgiving was great fun meeting so many cousins.  The girls formed a line on the couch and waited their turns to get to hold you...and then cycled back to the end of the line.  So cute.

We love you so much, sweet Amber!!

Happy 1 month, Amber!

Wow time has flown by.  You are such an easy baby and we are just so in love with you!

Highlights this month:
*You are sleeping from 7-8 hours a night, waking up to eat and back to sleep for another 3-4.  You are a dream, literally.
*You have given us a few smiles and wow does your face light up!  You smile with your eyes more than your brain is telling your mouth, too.  Don't worry-it'll come.  :)  You dole out the most smiles to daddy.
*You look a lot like Daddy and Savannah.  Even mommy can see it, which is hard for her.  And random strangers comment on it, too.  That's a little weird.
*You are a champion nurser.  I love you.
*You have had only one dr appointment.  That is a record for the babies in our family.
*Your sisters love you love you love you.  Emily reads you stories and loves to show you the pictures.  Savannah likes to ask your opinion about everything.  It's a good thing she can read your mind because she tells us what you want all the time.  Emily lets us know immediately if you "spit paci out!"  I think she might have some fond memories of her paci of days gone by.  Savannah loves to pick out all your outfits, every day.  Sometimes she picks out your jammies for the night by 1pm.

Can't wait to get to know you more, dearie!
