4 Weeks and a little MOODY!

Our little Blakely is FOUR Weeks old and has gotten a mind of her own. She has been a lot more fussy these days and we've been wondering why. After some experimenting with food, drops, clothing and a few other random things, we've decided she is like any other girl and she just has her moments.

Although, I do have to say she has had a few belly aches here and there but most of her fussing is because she's tired and/or wants to be held. She is usually happy most of the morning and day but around the evening time (just in time for Daddy to get home) she gets really fussy and it's hard to make her happy. Brock is starting to label her as a "fussy" baby, I don't blame him because she is the hardest from 5-8 at night and that's Daddy's shift. However, she has kinda put herself on her own eat, play & sleep schedule and she is becoming more and more predictable of what she needs/wants.

It's not all crazy! There is a lot of fun and happy moments with her too that make up for the crazy ones. She is always bright and happy in the morning and just sooo sweet. She also loves to be outside-which I don't do a ton of because the air is still so thick and smokey, I worry. Bath time with her is a lot of fun too, she just absolutely loves it! She is a good little sleeper and is getting better about putting herself down for nap time. (bedtime is a different story). She's been sleeping better and better at night. She's been making long stretches between 10-4, which is totally awesome! We just hope it keeps up!!!

She is just so adorable and we just love her to pieces and she has been such a fun addition to our family. We are having a lot of fun with her!

Our babies sound like they would be BFF's. Jord was so fussy @ night, and loves bathtime and being outside. I bought this drops Kidecolic that helped and also she mellowed out on her own in the past few weeks. I read in a book the fussiness in babies peaks at 6 weeks then lesses, i think that has for sure been the case with her. I bet it will be with Blakley too. She is a doll, love the pics!!!

Kim, I love the picture of Blakely laying on her belly. It is so funny how they come with so much personality and so many likes and dislikes. I am so happy for you guys!
