Change and more change

It's unbelievable to see how much Bea has changed. She's eating well and growing each week. Her appearance changes significantly each week as she fills out and new definition is created. At birth she had dark brown hair and started to lose it, now she appears to be growing it again and I'm betting on a light brown hair. The eyes are still dark blue but it's still early and they can go any direction. Her cheeks are filling out, and she's actually developed some fat and little fat rolls on her legs and arms. She was so skinny initially there was absolutely no fat. She can maintain her body heat much better now. Yesterday she was weighed at 6 lb 12 oz which was her 39th week since conception and almost 7th week since birth.

Her vision is coming around and she can maintain eye contact very well. Her lungs and specifically her audible decibel level is certainly bigger then I care for some times.

A week or so ago Melissa got caught switching diapers and Bea blasted a poop all over the wall. I told her that I changed diapers way to fast to ever get caught... So two days later Bea peed on the first clean diaper I put on her, then with my guard down and I was switching for a second diaper she blasted a huge poop all over the place. To top it off she decided to pee on the third clean diaper.

yep--been there before. Not a true parent until you get peed and pooped on.

Is this what we have to look forward to in a couple of days? Can't wait for the cousins (second-cousins??) to meet. Thanks for all the great tips too! Eric is learning well!

Welcome to the joys of parent hood! These are great memories to journal and to tease her with in her teenage years. We can't wait to meet her. Emma Kate talks about babies all the time. Let us know if you are in need of anything. We have many slightly used baby items including some that have never been used.
