Our growing daughter

Leah is doing great. 5 1/2 weeks already, it's hard to believe. We'll get her size update on Friday at her well child visit. It seems she's a night owl, though, as most evenings she prefers to stay up, wide awake with mom & dad until 11:30pm or so. Some nights she's willing to lie in bed & fall asleep on her own, but others she prefers to hang out with us for a while. It's nice spending the one-on-one time with her, but it does cut into the sleep for mom & I don't really want my infant to get too used to staying up half the night! Ha. I'm sure we'll get that in order. She's a cutie, though. For the past week or so, she's started smiling when I talk to her. It's very cute. The boys want her to smile at them, too. We'll work on that. Leyton held her for a long time today. I admire his patience. She was actually quite upset and screaming, but he just sat there & didn't move. I would ask him if he was doing ok or if he was finished. He said no & that he wanted to hold her longer. Shortly after that, I gave her a pacifier & covered her up. It was about a minute & she fell asleep. We helped Leyton feel like a hero for putting his baby sister to sleep. He (well all of them are) is a cutie.
