Yesterday was my first Mother's Day and it was just wonderful! Tim and Karys woke me up having made me breakfast in bed and along with two dozen roses, they presented me with two gift certificates for 1-hour massages! Wow!! Karys and I spent the whole day together and since she had been awake most of the day, she slept almost 12 hours last night! She is just such a little sweetheart!

This past week she has been super excited about Baby Einstein DVD's - and when I put them on for her she starts kicking her feet and moving her arms all around. She loves to look at the colors and shapes and the music is really soothing. It's really cute to see how excited she gets. It's also really great for me to let her watch that while I do things around the house too!

She's pretty much holding her head up all the time now. And she loves to be held upright so she can look all around and see what is going on. She doesn't like being placed on her back much during the day at all. She likes to know what is going on around her!! A very curious little baby! :)

She will be 11 weeks old this Thursday. Time has gone by so fast!! She still sleeps an average of 8-9 hours a night and takes a nice long nap in the afternoons. She continues to change so quickly! She's started to bat her hands at objects in front of her too. I don't think she'll have any control over grabbing them for quite a while still but she watches things very closely now and will start cooing at them when she gets excited.

I only have 2 more weeks left with her at home before I return to work. It's going to be very sad for me to leave her but I know she will have fun with the other 2 babies her babysitter keeps. Karys and I went over to visit them last week for a little over an hour. There's a little girl who is almost 5 months older than Karys so I'm sure they will have fun playing together!

We hope everyone had a great weekend!

Tim, Stephanie & Karys
