Some pictures of the big shot Five Week Old! You'll see she's been singing, dancing and pretending to be a lil' monkey:Now if you've checked out the pictures you saw Abigail also loves to sleep. Except when she refuses to because she's either crying or staring at things. Her parents prefer the latter. It's wonderful to have her gaze at us and awful when she's crying, okay wailing, instead. Though we have gotten some helpful hints from the book, The Happiest Baby on the Block, it's still heartbreaking, and frustrating, to hear and see our crying child.
However she did sleep for SIX HOURS STRAIGHT three nights ago, only to have the next few nights be one where she was up every few hours (or every hour). So she gave us a little sneak peek and we enjoyed it thoroughly, anxiously awaiting another night of such felicity.
And if you ask Abigail what she prefers--taking a bath or taking a shower--she would most definitely tell you shower! Thought we could celebrate her 5th week with a nice, warm bath--wrong! She took a shower a week back with such a look of contentment as opposed to today's woeful bath. Well, it was the quickest bath in the world and we've now learned our lesson--in order for our babe to stay sweet smelling--a shower it is!
It's been one wild ride!
