Little Things: Ada, Eight Weeks

Ada is eight weeks old today! Last night, she gave us the gift of a good night's sleep - over seven hours from 10:30 pm to 5:30 am. Needless to say, we are feeling a bit more rested than usual...

Ada met her great-grandmother Cornett yesterday for the first time. We celebrated Father's Day in Hood River with almost the full Cornett clan. Ada was a champ and charmed everyone in the family. She is a very good-natured baby, and loves to smile and coo. She enjoys attention and interacting with people during the activity period after each feeding. Ada still requires some help to fall asleep (swaddling and rocking/walking) but she is getting better at sleeping on her own once she has drifted off into "deep sleep". She's had a few good stretches in the (unmoving) swing, bassinet, and crib in the past week

Ada continues to eat and grow well. She's about 10.5 pounds at this point. She's still wearing the size 1-2 diapers and filling out her 0-3 month clothing.

Here's a photo from yesterday.

And a cute close-up from last week.

Here's a video of Ada with her great-grandmother Cornett.
