When she's falling asleep, she'll keep one eye open as long as she can, watching you. It's always her left eye and no matter how heavy the eyelid gets, she forces it open as long as possible. We lovingly refer to it as her "pirate eye."
When she's upset, there are 3 things that calm her fairly quickly. 1) She loves to swing side to side. 2) She also enjoys the binky quite a bit, she's still not great at figuring it out though because she also loves to stick her tongue out when she's content - a vicious cycle e. We have to hold it in her mouth for her for a few minutes before she really gets it. And Mike always laughs at how she can cry and suck on her binky at the same time. 3) And the final trick is the rocking chair. She crashes immediately after she hears the first creak from the chair.
She loves to spit up and throw up on mom and pees and poops on dad. Every time. :)
She loves bath time and always has the most content and happy look on her face while soaking in the tub and being scrubbed clean.
She enjoys her tummy time, especially when she's getting a back massage.
She's a great sleeper - goes to bed at 10pm and only wakes up around 2am and 6am. Once she eats, she has no problem going back to sleep immediately. We really are so lucky.
She's a good eater. She eats every 3 hours for about 20 minutes (except at night where she goes 4 and sometimes 5 hours between meals)
Morris has been amazing with Stella. Of course, he's never alone with her, but when he's with her he loves to give her kisses and lay with her. He licks her arms, hands and face all of the time. And he fans her with his huge feather-duster tail (which she loves to grab with her little hands.)
Mike and I are adjusting to parenthood well. We basically just love it and dote on her nonstop. She is so much fun, and we're just trying to soak it all up. Because as you all know, time flies.
