6 Weeks

Maylee has officially been home with us longer than she was in the NICU and we have loved every minute of each of the past six weeks! She is doing amazing and growing like a weed. She is over 5 lbs now and I don't think there is any stopping her growing.

She has discovered her thumb on a couple of occasions recently - it is stinkin cute, but I am not a fan of it. I normaly don't do a pacifier, but she needed it...but at least you can take a pacifier away. A thumb is a lot harder to break. Hopefully this will not become a habit!

Most of her day is spent being adored by one of the other four members of our family.

Just about everything she does is cute...I mean really - isn't that yawn just ridiculously adorable?!

I could have sworn the little princess smiled at me yesterday and when I told Bry about it he said he thought she did the same for him earlier, but didn't want to say anything since I probably would call him crazy. Well, we had a visit from a nurse today and I asked her about it. She said Maylee might be a bit advanced socially since she is little and at a young gestation but has been around people so much more. So yes - she realistically could have smiled at us already! I have to say it is the cutest thing to see such a tiny little baby smile - I hope to catch one on camera soon!

Time goes by fast...and faster as you get older...and even faster with each child that comes around. Please time...could you slow down a little bit? I am not ready for little little angel to get big -
