Wee Baby was just chillin with Pat… She does not sit still like this with me. She sat there for a good 20 minutes! Pat was super sleepy.. he must have been giving off some sleepy vibes or something! lol

A few times last week, I put Mariella to sleep in her crib.  I kept her on her snuggle nest, a baby sleeper with a slight incline and bolsters on either side so she stays put.   She did just fine but I missed her so much I kept bring her back in my room to put her in her cradle.  I kept thinking about her in her room all by herself, what if she needs me?  What if I don’t hear her cry out for help?  What if this? What if that?

enough of the what ifs!  I am driving myself crazy!  lol

So after she had a big girl moment and rolled over for the first time, I thought I should be a big girl too…  get over it Angel, your baby WILL grow up! So I put her in her crib.  Swaddled her with one arm out (she is getting ready to sleep with out being swaddled) kissed her on her forehead.

And she slept for hours…  I don’t think she missed the incline of the snuggle nest.  She did just fine!  I am so proud of her!  Sleeping so nicely in her bed!  She must have had a feeling of new found freedom or something.  She was working out her abs and pulling her leg up to the sky!  It was so funny.  Such a funny Wee Baby!

Video! Can’t get enough of Wee Baby!

Pictures!  Can’t get enough of Wee Baby!

We all went for a ride to bring Uncle Gordon to the airport.  We had a nice trip out and Wee Baby and I were playing in the back seat.  She was totally cute like always!  There is a video clip at the bottom of this post of her sucking her fingers!   She was sleepy but happy.  I love the picture on the left of her blowing the spit bubbles!  It is so darn cute!  She is drooling like crazy now.

Slobber here slobber there every where slobber slobber!  :-)  Gotta love the slobber though!  Pat is like GOOD GAWD GIRL, where is all that drool coming from.  I tried to warn him that he has not seen nothing yet.  Wait till she starts teething!   LOL  he is going to freak out!

After the day out…  well ok, more like an hour.  hahhaaaa After the hour out and about, we got to our apartment and it was time to wind down.   Pat and Wee Baby often play on the laptop together, play PS3 or xbot, and of course watch the big screen.    I didn’t think I had to worry about Mariella getting hooked to the television……    but……      just look at her wanting to change the station!  LOL  Oh my goodness, they are already fighting for the remote!

7 minutes of her being her…  she was supposed to be going to sleep.  But she decided to stay awake and play.  She probably would have fallen asleep, but I couldn’t resist those squeaky squealy noises she was making.  It went on for several minutes before I started the video.  Then it just continued on.  I actually cut the video in half!  LOL  yeah, I love my baby and she is just so sweet all the damn time I just have to share!

and yes I know these movies files are huge!  no time to fix…  just enjoy! LOL

Pat and I took Wee Baby to the Children’s hospital today.  She needed an ultrasound to check out a few bumpies on her head.   They seem to be dermoid cysts and no cause for alarm, we will just keep an eye on them for size and if they ever start to bother wee baby.   We had to be at the hospital an hour before our appointment for paperwork.  We got there 30 minutes early, the paperwork took 5 minutes and the Doctor was an hour + late.   So we spent a few hours just waiting to get her ultrasound.

I was happy to get out of the hospital.  Wee Baby was the youngest one in the waiting area.  I kept looking around at the families…. wondering why they were there.  Wondering what struggles they were going through.  I said a prayer for all the children and their families.

Wee Baby did fine on her ultrasound… she cried…  mostly because she waited 3 hours to see the dr and by this time she was Miss Fussy Pants!

Finally on our way home.  Mariella started to fall asleep which she needed to.. she was exhausted.   She was so relaxed, notice in the pictures below how long her face is… she was so floppy from exhaustion.

She woke up about 10 minutes later.   I was talking to her …  telling her to go back to sleep because “We will have none of that crying“  when we get home.   And she started to chuckle…  a couple seconds later a full blown giggle!  :-)  Pat and I was laughing too it was so adorable!  I grabbed my camera and started to record.  I got the later end of it, but you can totally tell she had the giggle thing going on!  It was the sweetest thing..

Good Morning from us in MerryLand! Especially Mariella, she wanted to tell everyone hello and give them a big hug.

She Loves You This Much!

Just a glimpse of what I get to see several times a day.   We have Good Mornings throughout the day everyday! I secretly cant wait till she is older so we can enjoy coffee, tea or  cocoa!  Although I am already crying about how fast she is growing…

Enjoy a few pictures!

shhhh Wee Baby is sleeping!  She must have some gas or a tummy ache.  She didn’t want to lay on her back, so I curled her in a ball and placed her inside this boppy pillow thing.  She rarely takes a pacifier, but she took one for this nap.  Sweet sweet Mariella….  enjoy your nap my little Angel.  She did wind up feeling better later that evening…  when daddy got home, she decided it was time to have a “rocket poo”  kind of poop.  :-)  I took a video of it below…

Later in the evening she felt much better!  Good enough for some tummy time on Daddy!  :-)  Look how long she is getting!  My little big Wee Baby!

She slept like a champ last night.  From midnight till 5 am, then 7 till 10.  Perfect!  This is the third day she sleeps from 12-5 or 1-6….  I sure hope it continues.  I love the sleep!

Here are some pictures for us to enjoy.  She is such a precious little Wee Baby.   I love her and my husband….   I am so happy for our little family!  I wish we had some visitors so I can show her off to people.  Why don’t you come over for a visit?  It is alright by us! 

Mariella must have had a tummy ache.  She was not comfortable laying on her back in her cradle.  I tried 4 times getting her to sleep and placing her in her cradle and she was not having it.  She was only comfortable when I held her on her side.  So I grabbed the bumby pillow and laid her on her side between mommy and daddy.  I had my hand around her and placed on her back so I could feel her move.  She slept for 4 hours… and I did not… lol I kept watching her to make sure she didn’t squirm down or turn her head into the pillow.  She slept so well!  I was so tired in the morning… wish I could have had some caffeine.

When Daddy came home, he showered Wee baby with love and kisses and Wee Baby kissed him back!  awww so sweet!

Mariella is a sweet little Angel when she is sleeping…   so sweet…  so loving…  so precious.   I took these pictures with my cell phone, I turned on the light so I could get a better shot.  It was worth the risk of waking her up when I turned on the lamp so I can capture this loving Wee Baby and all her cuteness.  I think the time was around 3:30 am.  

I adore you Mariella, you are so precious!
