Miss Halle has changed so much already it seems like. She's been a very alert baby from day one constantly looking around and reacting to people talking to her or holding her. This past week she's become even more alert staying awake for longer periods of time. She's even started to smile a little bit. Her eyes will light up when Mommy or Daddy talk to her and she did a full blown smile when Grandma picked her up yesterday. Her favorite place to be is when Mommy puts on the Moby wrap and she gets all snuggled up. I had originally planned on strictly breast feeding Halle but we've had a few set backs due to her being tongue tied and needing frenectomy on her upper lip. We have an appointment June 16 to have the extra flap of skin removed and it should help with our latching issues and also help eliminate future speech issues. This little girl loves tummy time and we spend multiple times a day on our tummy time mat. She has been able to hold her head up on her own for small periods of times since Day 2 and she's just grown stronger over the last few weeks I'm so proud of my little girl!
One of the things that I've learned the past few weeks is we are so lucky and so loved. I grew up with a relatively small family. We were very spoiled by my grandparents being my mom was an only child so we never had to share which was amazing! Because of this though I also learned that just because you are not related by blood does not mean you are not related or loved any less by friends that you now consider family. Here are just a few of the family Halle has had recently
