Life with Little C

We are absolutely in love with our little girl! She makes hilarious faces (that apparently make her look like mommy), grunts like an old man with the best comedic timing, and she's a sweet snuggler as long as she has her binky (Joshua Giraffe) in her mouth.

What everyone tells you about parenthood before you become a parent is totally true: there is a HUGE learning curve. We've juggled poopsplosions, trips to the ER due to a lack of poop, sleepless nights, and a baby that is just way too sleepy. But our little girl seems to have her mommy's sense of humor; just when it seems that everything is terrible, she'll let out a huge fart to break the (internal and external) tension. She's our tiny cupcake, weighing in at a whopping 7 lbs 14.5 oz at 6 weeks old, but that's almost 2 pounds up from her birth weight, so we are very happy with that! 

Little C's Favorite Things (6 week old edition):

-Joshua Giraffe, binky extraordinaire

-Very hungry caterpillar toy (particularly chewing on his antennae)

-Bouncy seat, before it automatically shuts off and we have to wake mommy to turn it back on.

-Being carried in the ring sling, as long as she's sleeping

-BOOBS

-Hates:Baths, Loves: "Snug as a bug in a rug" snuggle times after baths

Overall we've adjusted to our own routine more or less. I've learned that when worse comes to worst, it's only a matter of turning on the shower to get her to finally fall asleep and she's learned that mommy is never too far away to put a binky in her mouth 8,000 times in a span of 10 minutes.

That's life in the Robbins nest! We've got some interesting health updates that I'll blog about in another entry when we're a little more clear on her special circumstances (just another weirdo Potatoes grandkid making life interesting), but this the little girl we see on a daily basis! We love her to pieces, as does everyone she meets.

Off to get some laundry and dishes done while nap time still lasts, after all, it's 6 week growth spurt time!
