A baby's smile



There is nothing sweeter than when your new baby starts to smile and laugh. Gabriella is such a happy baby - I have no complaints!! Last night she slept from 7pm-6:10am. She has slept like that for several weeks and I love it!!! She has always been a good sleeper - I attribute it to a few things...one - we never let our kids sleep in our room, she's been in her crib since day 1 - firm believer that no one gets good sleep when there is a child in the room and two - we swaddle her up tight every night so she's looks like a human burrito and three - I think she just fakes sleeping sometimes so her brother and sister will leave her alone. And of course, there's the fact that this is our third kid so we don't go sprinting to her bedside if she makes the slightest sigh. Anyway, I just love her to death and absolutely adore her little smile (or big smile). It's kind of funny how other kids can make her smile so much easier than I can.

And here's another thing to smile about - Austin went to the farm for the week! Yes, my in-laws came in town over the weekend and they took Austin back to the farm this morning. He was so excited, I'm surprised he didn't pee his pants. He loves spending time out on the farm - so much to see and do - he was already giving me a run-down of the events he was going to do while he was there. He cracks me up! The house is sooo quiet without him - but the girls and I had a good time shopping around this morning - Ashlyn is loving getting all my attention.

As for now, both girls are fast asleep and I will be too soon...


Hope you are having the time of your life!
