Week 11-6/30/2010-7/6/2010-My baby girl! I love you, I love you, I love you!!! You are sleeping right now and I miss you. I want to wake you so I can hear you speak to me and see your wonderful smile, but it would be a major mistake. I have already learned that the hard way!

Let's see...This was a busy week. We went to a Fabrick family reunion on Saturday and everybody loved you. You were the youngest family member there. After that, Papa and I took you on our very first hike together in Topanga Canyon called Red Rock. It was beautiful and you enjoyed looking at all of the trees and flowers. Then on Sunday, you, Papa and I had a photoshoot at my Uncle Bill's and Aunt Shelli's home. They took some fabulous pictures of all of us. It was the fourth of July and my mom and dad hosted a huge barbque at their home which we went to. This was your big debut. The first time everybody had a chance to meet you. Love at first sight. You are the most gorgeous girl ever. You were great too, both days of so much excitement and you remained calm and engaged; no major meltdowns. Monday, we went over to Uncle Mike's, Aunt Yael's and Levi's home to spend time with them. Then Yael, Levi, you and I went to the Grove to get outside for a bit. Today, you and I took Zed for a couple of walks, but we took it pretty easy. Papa and I have been very good about sticking to your bedtime, so I think that makes it easier for you to be out in the midst of so much commotion. Now when you become sleepy, you rub your eyes. Your eyes are slowly beginning to change from the color of the sea on a stormy day to a soft brown.

You have begun clamping down on my nipple with your gums when you are ready to pull off. Little girl, this hurts so much and you don't even have teeth yet! You are kicking your legs so much, soon you will begin to roll over. I have to watch that I do not place you too close to the edge of the bed or changing table anymore for fear of you kicking yourself right off the edge. You are in great moods all of the time now unless I keep you up for too long. No more tummy pains, no more hours of screaming. It is awesome. You are a great baby!

When I dress you in the mornings, I need to pull your onesies over your head. You do not like this at all. You cry and complain and then as soon as I pull your little arms through the arm holes, you start smiling and talking again. As much as I try to distract you and dress you quickly, this happens each morning! Baby Girl!
