11 weeks old



Today Daphne is 11 weeks old. It has been the best 11 weeks of our lives. Every day is something new and exciting even if it's just a new face she makes. At Daphne's two month check up we had the much dreaded first round of vaccines. It actually went much better than I thought, but it helps that I think she's super cute and just want to cuddle her when she cries. I thought for sure I wouldn't make it through without crying myself, but I did. The doctor says that she's doing well. She is in the 50% range in weight and head size, but only 10% in weight. Since then she has started eating so much more. We nurse and then finish off with a bottle of 2 to 4 ounces. At the appointment she weighed in at 9 pounds 1 ounce (her birth weight was 7 pounds 3 ounces), but I'm sure we're up around 10 pounds by now. She is sleeping through the night almost every night now. We get to bed around 10 or 11 and she sleeps until dad gets up for work most mornings - which is at seven. Then the girls get to sleep again until around noon. I feel much better these days getting as much sleep as we are.


Today we just had a reunion of our baby class and Daphne was by far the cutest there (and the smallest). We sure have been blessed by this little angel of ours.
