Little Princess

How does the time go by so fast?!

Keetley is 8 weeks old!  Already!!!

Forget about the perfectly posed pictures each month.  Forget about having time to get the camera out at all...I'm lucky I snapped this one of her, with how busy these darling kids keep me!

She absolutely LOVES her bath time!  She has never cried or even screamed during a bath, and is so happy and content to play in the water.

I used my 'spending' money (when I do alterations, I keep that moolah for frivolous things I want) to buy a play mat with the toys that hang above for the baby to play with.  We never had one for the boys, so this was a definite splurge.  Keetley LOVES it!!!  She bats at the toys and smiles, and gets silly little looks on her face when she concentrates really hard on the hanging toys.  And technically speaking, the boys play with it, too...so...nobody is left out, really.

She weighs just under 10 lbs.  Crazy to think that Kortlen was born at 9 1/2 lbs, and she's just now reaching that milemarker at 2 months old!  She's about twentieth percentile for weight, and sixtieth percentile for height.  Tall skinny thing!  But she's a GREAT eater, and is growing those fat-rolls on her legs like nobody's business.

Keetley loves to hold her head up.  She has always had a strong neck and is very observant.

She sleeps quite well, often from 9pm through the night till 8 am. She'll wake up for one feeding in the night, which is to be expected. Her naps are also going great!  While I haven't really stuck to a tight schedule for her (let's be honest, I often don't know if I'm comin' or goin' or even what day of the week it is!), but when she naps each morning and each afternoon, it's for 2-5 hours.  And I'm okay with that!!!

Needless to say, we're so happy our little princess has come to join us in our home!  She puts a smile on everyone's face, and we simply cannot get enough of her!
