Well, we are head­ing to the end of Sophie’s 6^th week and going through grow­ing pains. She is fussy, tired, excited, awake, droopy, hun­gry, uncom­fort­able, happy, smil­ing and try­ing to make her first noises. And this is all in a two hour period at night. This is enough to wear two adults out! Sophie is now a healthy 11 pounds and I think most of her growth has hap­pened in the last two days! UGH! Greg and I are tough­ing it out try­ing to tell our­selves that this too will pass. We know she is just try­ing to fig­ure out her world and all the new things that she is dis­cov­er­ing. She is more alert than ever and usu­ally only sleeps about 3 hours dur­ing the day, 3 hours not all together either. Basically she wakes up at 7:00 am and goes to bed about 9:00 pm, with sev­eral cat naps in between. The great thing is she is now sleep­ing 5 hours and after a good feed­ing time another 4 hours (happy mommy).

So we slog through the grow­ing pains and hope for an end soon, know­ing that is not the last one by any means. Thankfully the teenage years are a far way off, those grow­ing pains are not some­thing we are look­ing for­ward to.
