Look at that double chin! ;) I can't even explain what it took to wake this girl for this picture!
It doesn't matter how many times you do it....when it comes to your babies....time always goes too fast! It hasn't changed with our newest addition, Hollyn either. She's so adorable, squishy, and perfect, but she keeps growing, darn it. So it's time to start her monthly updates!
*She is quite the sleeper! When we first brought her home, I'm not sure that we saw her eyes for a full week! If we did, it was usually at 10 o'clock at night when we were trying to head to bed. No bedtime for Miss Hollyn though....she was ready to party! She would stare off into the dark when I layed her down (I would watch her on the monitor)....it broke my heart to see her awake and no one around. :( Shortly after week 2, she started to sleep from 11:30 to 4 or sometimes 5. Score.
*She weighs about 10 lbs and is about 23 inches long. Growing fast!
*She's got lots of sweet peach fuzz all over her little body, especially around her shoulders and little back (and more dark in color than the other girls). She may be the dark haired girl of the bunch. I love it.
*She is a smiley thing. I feel like Ansley didn't smile for the first 3 months and Charli did a little more, but Hollyn....she smiles ALL the time! It is so precious. I don't care what anyone says....they aren't gas smiles!
*She has dark hair on the back of her head (and a lot of it) and lighter in the front. We joke that she got some beautiful ombre highlights for the fall season! She also came out with lots of curl on her wet head, so she's probably going to be like the other two in that regard.
*She spits up occasionally, but only when we don't get out a good burp. And she has hiccups about 3 times a day....just like in my belly.
*When she cries she lets out one big screech and then she's done for the most part (unless she's REALLY hungry). She sounds like another little pterodactyl.
*She makes the funniest faces. We call them her old man looks. She scrunches and twists her mouth and face around in some crazy ways!
*She has the LONGEST fingers and toes of all the girls (and Charli has some long ones)! Before long she'll be playing the piano with her feet.
*She's a pooper! Her favorite time is right when her diaper is off (lots of laundry for momma)! During her newborn photoshoot she peed and pooped on Ansley and Sheri. Both of them were dancing around trying to get clean. It was hilarious.
*Her eyes are a beautiful blue color right now and I'm sure they will stick around. Sometimes they like to cross, but she's still a beauty! Before long they will track together hopefully. Ha! :)
We are so thankful for Hollyn's healthy arrival and we treasure our little biscuit (name given by Ansley) so much! Praise God for the blessing of another sweet girl!
