Oh, things are good. The pinkeye has disappeared thanks to her round of antibiotics. Her baby acne is clearing up a bit so she looks less splotchy. She's still sleeping like a champ at night; we're routinely getting 6 or 7 hours with only one interruption. A couple days even had both girls napping at the same time! She's started to find her fist or her thumb (if it's available) to chew on when her pacifier isn't in her mouth. In the morning especially Tessa likes to talk to us. What a sweet little voice! And the smiles continue; I think she'd like to laugh if she knew how. But the furrowed brow is definitely still present quite often. She's gotten a little bit more needy, wanting to be picked up and held almost all the time instead of laying in her bassinet or on the boppy. It makes dinner preparation a little trickier (especially when knives are involved; ever cut carrots with only one hand available? -- it's hard!), and projects with Maggie have to be well-planned too. But who are we kidding? This kid is mellow, easy-going, and precious. And good-sized too, of course. We're about to graduate out of all the newborn size clothes and move into 0-3 monthers. Here's hoping all these good things continue! It's sure easy to love this little girl.
