As of today, at six weeks old, Meera Grace is now:
- one of the most easy, mellow, laid-back, happy babies on the planet — continuing to have the most sunny disposition and rarely unhappy
- smiling (often waking up smiling)
- laughing (started laughing on July 5 and has laughed many times each day since)
- trying to ‘talk’/interact with verbal sounds back-and-forth when people give her eye contact
- working very hard to suck on her fingers/hands (i.e., spending most of her waking hours struggling to get her right hand into her mouth)
- loving having her diaper changed
- kicking her legs like crazy
- still loving her black Baby Bjorn chair
- still loving her mobile of “friends”
- still loving a nice warm bath
- staring for hours at bright lights and contrasting colors
- sleeping more and crying less (which is saying a lot since she was already crying very little)… even during her ‘fussy period’ between 4-8pm each day
- sleeping through more than you can imagine (i.e., K & O’s loud antics)
- wanting to eat (and demanding it) every 2-4 hours, 24×7, no exceptions
- watching with wide eyes as her crazy brothers play like maniacs around her
- enjoying one bottle each night with her Papi
- adoring her Mama as if she were the center of the entire universe, lighting up when she sees her, cooing and squealing with delight, etc.
- loving life
- fitting in pretty darn perfectly with our family
