6 weeks old

Well Lizzy is now almost 6 weeks old already...I honestly cannot believe it's been that long already!! She is getting sooo big, at last weigh in she was 8 lbs 13 oz...She now smiles when she is excited or Happy and can mostly hold her head up by herself...

I am still nursing with the support of The Mercy Hospital staff and my family...I don't have quite enough milk for my little piggy so she gets formula as well..sometimes I feel guilty that I can't feed her myself and that I am letting her down, but I usually snap out of it quickly and remember that as long as she is healthy then there is nothing to feel bad about!!

I recently researched and switched Lizzy to a different diaper...we are now using mostly seventh generation diapers...they are better for her and for the enviroment (without using cloth) and are the same price as the other national brands...as I say WHY NOT?

Lizzy has been all over the place and proved to be the best baby ever...although I am VERY biased...lol...we have gone to Oxford Speedway, Beech ridge motor speedway, funtown, minigolfing, a carnival, Fireworks display, to the beach several times, and who knows where else...and she was amazing everywhere we went...either slept through it or watched everyone...:)

We put her in her own room for a couple of nights and she did great...I however didn't do very well...I checked on her a million times and the baby moniter picked up everything so that kept me awake as well...so for now she is back in our room until who knows when...at least I know that she can sleep without people in her room...

WEll I could go on forever but time to feed Lizzy....so long :)
