Kennedy 7 weeks old

Kennedy 7 weeks old and attempts at catching her smile it is hard to be the photographer and the one trying to get the smile out of her so they are what they are.

I didn't get any BIG smiles but sweet pleasant faces are good too.

My how the time goes by. Kennedy is now over 7 weeks old and her mom is still wearing her maternity jeans, sad sad day:) She is getting so big and has just started to smile at you when you talk to her. She has been a bit of a challenge though. The first week and a half or so I thought we had an Angel Child slept for at least 4 hours at a time at night and was so quiet. Then I started to function like a mom of 4 kids again and she became the typical baby 0-frantic in about 2 seconds and sleeping if we are lucky 3 hours at a time and the worst of it is she won't settle back down for about an hour then another hour and a half later we are back up going through the same process. I am not one that functions well without sleep ask my kids the poor things. I am just glad that kids tend to be extra forgiving. Hopefully they won't remember this sleep deprived monster they call a mother.

Last Friday we got a baby sitter and went out (taking the baby of course) and she fell asleep on the way home in her car seat so I just left her there. 6 hours later she woke up and wanted to eat 6 HOURS. Needless to say she has been sleeping in her car seat ever since and we have now had 3 days of between 4-5 hours of sleep and then she goes right back to sleep for another 3 or so HAPPY DAY!! I am not sure the car seat is the best place but if she is happier we are HAPPIER. She has what we think must be acid reflex and although I propped up her mattress and give her medicine. I think it just wasn't enough sitting up like the car seat does seems to help a TON! So there you go our first few weeks with the sweety all I have to say it there is a reason the lord sends them so cute, small and lovable..... so you will KEEP THEM!!!
