3 weeks!

Our sweet Blakely,

Today you are 3 weeks old, and this makes me a little sad. I know I should just be thankful for a healthy, growing baby (and don't get me wrong, I am VERY thankful), but I feel like you are already growing so fast. While I was pregnant I wanted time to fly by so I could meet you and now I just wish it would slow down.

In your short 3 weeks of life you have changed so much. Your hair and skin seem to be getting lighter, and you have become a lot more vocal. Sometimes you make the sweetest little sounds and other times you make some very unladylike ones. Grunting is your newest thing and you do this a lot! You have also started to put on a little chub and it's so cute. I love your little potbelly and the little rolls around your wrists- So sweet!

As far as your temperment, my little chill child has become a tad diva-ish. You have been fighting your naps most days, and this makes you very cranky. I'm hoping this is just a phase... You are definitely living up to your nickname, Miss Priss.

You are still a great eater and pooper, and you give me 3 to 4 hour breaks in between feedings at night. Speaking of being fed, you always put your arm over your sweet face as if to block out the world. And when I put you over my shoulder to burp, you often pat my back while I pat yours. This just melts my heart!

I can't believe how much you have changed our world in these short three weeks. You have filled our hearts with more love than we ever thought possible. We are beyond blessed to have you in our lives.

We love you very much!

Love,

Your Mommy and Daddy
