6 weeks!

This has been a busy week since I started back to work! Since I started back to work, Abby had her first official bottle this week. While I am at school she drinks two 3 1/2 ounce bottles. She took to the bottle right away and has not had any problems transitioning between the bottle and nursing. Her sleeping in still inconsistent. Some nights she is up every four hours and then other nights she sleeps eight hour stretches. Last night she slept from 8:30-5. I would like this to be the new normal!
She is still pretty grumpy in the evenings, but I think it is starting to get a little better. My favorite thing about this week is that she has started smiling! She gives a sweet smile here and there in response to us and I can't wait to see more and more of them. She has started doing a little cooing, but I know that will pick up more soon as well.
She loves her swing and loves to look up at her reflection in the top of the swing. When she is awake she has the widest, brightest eyes and seems to be taking everything in. Carter sure has been helpful and she always turns her head to his voice. We feel lucky to have such a sweet girl!
