10 weeks already?!?!

Oh where has the time gone? My little newborn baby is already 10 weeks old! It is really neat though because each week a little more personality comes out! Overall, Kaylen is still such a happy little girl (especially in the mornings!). She loves to laugh and smile (until around 9 pm and then sassy Kaylen comes out). Right now she is laying in her Boppy laughing at nothing, and she is kicking my arm as I type, which is really cracking her up.  She is also very easily amused.  Lucky for me, her favorite toy is connected to her body... her hands! Lately she also loves to hold on to the burp rag or her blanket and stick them in her mouth. Playing with the burp rag could keep her entertained for a long time! We also bought her an activity mat, which she really likes.  She can kick the little hanging characters and make them play music.  She absolutely loves kicking her legs, and she can kick HARD too.  I'm going to have to get her in an activity where we can put those strong legs to use as soon as we can! 

Kaylen's sleeping habits are getting better.  At least once a week for the past several weeks she has "slept through the night", which doctors say is sleeping midnight to 5 am.  A couple of days ago she slept 5.5 hours in a row! The other days she is sleeping about 3 hours at a time, and just wakes up to eat.  Most of the time she eats for a couple of minutes and falls right back to sleep.  She is still getting fussy around 9 pm, but I think it's because she is getting tired.  We usually get her to sleep by 10:30.  All and all, I can't complain about her sleeping habits because they have improved so much. 

We had a pretty laid back week.  I'm just trying to enjoy my short time left at home with my little girl.

This is called multitasking.

"These fingers are yummy!"

Sleepy girl! This is her favorite sleeping position.

So proper!

I was trying to get a picture of her with the blanket in her mouth, but she looked at me and smiled at the last second!

Found herself in the mirror!

That baby in the mirror is pretty cute!

Kicking mom while she updates this blog!

Playing on her mat... kicking is so fun!

Trying to roll off the mat! She will be rolling over before we know it!!

  1. I can't believe our babies are 10 WEEKS old!! Gavin is sleeping through the night too! Ususally from 8pm to 5 or 6am. It's nice having both kids in bed by 8pm so Jeff and I can enjoy a peaceful house! Hope you guys are doing well!

  2. Were our babies born the same day? May 22, right? That is so cool :) Maybe they should be pen pals and then grow up and get married. You never know. :)
