8 Weeks - but not Technically 2 Months...yet

Our little Autumn babe was 8 weeks yesterday!  I go into each new baby thinking "OK, this time I am going to hold on to each day better because I know now how fast it goes".  And then 8 weeks go by and I haven't done it, yet again.  I feel such sadness that I haven't written everything down - because it feels like just yesterday she was born and yet 56 days have passed! 



Here are the bits and pieces:

Week One:

Sleep, sleep, sleep!  Finally a baby (excluding Oscar) that sleeps!.  No spitting up.  Oscar asks "When is she going to start spitting up the white stuff Mom?"  She has a little dark fur on her back and shoulders, skinny little legs, no eye lashes or eye brows.  A few days after getting home her tear duct on her left eye started to plug - same eye as Rowan.  Wally's right eye tear duct was plugged.  At least I'm experienced at massaging the gunk out with all my past experience!  Ha ha...

Week Two:

Sleeping all the time!  So content in other people's arms.  Nursing like a champ.

I'll have to fill in the rest of the weeks later...I'm needed elsewhere!
