Eight weeks old and counting

Ah my sweet Maelyn! You are already 8 weeks old today! You are quickly morphing into quite the little person too. You have begun to coo quite often, and it is absolutely adorable! And in the past few days you have begun to smile, and have been doing it a lot!! It is so nice to see that you're happy, because I really wasn't too sure. You were so crabby with all that gas, but now that I've cut out all dairy (see how much I love you?! I miss my cheese) you are much better. But even without the gas, you still are a finnicky little thing. Poor dad is working a lot right now and only sees you in the evenings, at your crabbiest, and you don't really like when he holds you! But you've been cooing and smiling for him, so he is glad!! WE love you so much and even though everyone says you look just like Colette, daddy and I say not at all! Except when you're sleeping, then you look the exact same! Speaking of Colette, she is really loving on you lately. She shakes the rattle at you, tries to put the pacifier in your mouth (or eye), and sometimes I catch her just fiddling with your toes and finger and staring at you. We all love you so much and look forward to getting to know you more.
