Tomorrow morning when I wake up my little Skyler will already be one week old... It's so hard to believe... Thus far she is the most peaceful baby that I have had... Before each new baby comes it's always hard to imagine how I will be able to love a new baby as much as I love the others... but the Lord is faithful as always and he has given me this incredible love and desire for this little girl... She blesses my heart every time that I look at her... She's so tiny she almost fits into the palm of my hand... I know that she will only be this small for a few weeks so I am enjoying every moment that I have with my little peanut...
five out of the last six nights have been great... we had one doosey where she woke up almost every half hour but the rest of the nights she ate every 3-4 hours and then went right back to sleep... When she's awake she just lies in our arms or on the ground or in her swing and looks around... her eyes follow my voice when I walk around the room... basically what I'm trying to say is that she's awesome!!!
We took her to the doctor today and she is starting to gain her weight back... she got down to 6lbs 2 ounces on Saturday but now she is 6, 4...so tiny... the doc said that she is absolutely perfect... I could have told him that :)
i don't really know who she looks like... to me she just looks like Skyler... the only distinct feature that I can pick out are her fingers... they are super long and skinny, just like her grandma Sherry's... My mom used to file her nails in a more rounded shape and even Skyler's nails look like my mom's the way that they are growing in...
Toodles for now...
(I just realized that we don't have any pictures of her with her eyes open... so that's my project for today... I will try to get a few good ones and post them sometime soon :)

Maybe we should have called her Skyler "Peace" instead of Skyler Reese :)
