Milestones

Blake has had several milestones and I cannot believe how fast she is growing up!  It really does seem like yesterday that we had her :(  Blake had her first "real" smile at about 6 weeks.  She is now a smiling machine!  She loves it when you run your fingers down her face and touch her nose.  She also smiles when we play peek a boo with her burp cloth :)  Her little smile melts my heart.  She has the most precious smile I have ever seen and it really does make my day!  She also is beginning to laugh.  She had her first laugh at about 8 weeks.  She makes this huffing noise when she is smiling and you can tell she wants to laugh, but she has not quite figured that out yet...I know that will be very soon!

Blake has also found her hand and thumb.  She wants to suck her thumb so bad, but cannot quite figure out how to get just the thumb in the mouth.  She will suck on her hand and slobber everywhere!  It is so cute, in the mornings when we wake her up, there is drool all over her crib sheet and she is sucking her hand.  I cannot wait for the day that she figured out the thumb :)

Blake has also started cooing and making noises at things.  She will be watching TV, getting her diaper changed, or just being held, and she will make all kinds of noises.  She is going to be a talker like her momma :)

We are also starting to drool and blow bubbles :)  I get wet kisses now and anything that you are wearing gets wet!  Of course, I think it is cute :)

I wish that I could say that another milestone was liking the car seat and stroller, but we are not there yet...SOON!!!!!

Oh, one more!  She has started actually watching TV!  She LOVES Baby Einstein Baby Mozart!  I can put her in her bouncy seat and she will just stare and coo and "laugh."  This is great and I love Baby Einstein because it allows me to get things done around the house!

Well, we are off to Babies R Us to get some much needed things for daycare.  We are also going to look at the high chairs, because it about a month and a half it will be time to start rice cereal and then baby food!!!  You know me, I am always prepared :)
