Happy 10 Weeks Sweet Kate

The 2 big highlights for Kate this week (and us!) are her smiling and that starting Monday night she slept in her own crib all night long. She is smiling a lot more. Especially when we talk to her. This morning I told her the story of her birth and she just smiled and smiled. She also makes cooing sounds and a sound that sounds like "a-goo!" It just melts my heart. I could live for a whole week on that one "a-goo!" She is continuing her 8-9 hours sleeping during the night and we are so thankful. We have started a little routine at bed where I give her a bath, lotion her up, and then give her a bottle. We bought this little sound machine that plays all sorts of sounds such as the ocean, rain and a heart beat (which I think sounds like a horror movie scene!) The best sound is one of the brahms lullaby. This one really gets her. The second she hears it her little eyes start to droop. It really helps at nap time. It works so well that I can't play it while she is having her bottle or she'll fall asleep right in the middle of the bottle. The last thing I do before I put her in her crib is pray over her. I do not do this enough during the day, but our night time routine provides me with enough quiet time to do this. I pray for her health, her peaceful sleep, and then I thank God so much for blessing me with this wonderful little Kate. I put together this little show for her 10 weeks. The song is called "Miracle" and the chorus says "Hands on a miracle, I've got my hands on a miracle." We feel that way every day! Blessed be the name of the Lord!
