Six Weeks

Dear Lena Loo,

You are six weeks old! How can that be possible? You are holding up your head so well, watching light flicker through the lace curtains and recognizing Emmeline's voice. You turn your head so you can find your big sister. You've had a bit of a rough time sweet baby, with reflux, colic and something weird called anal stenosis, which we are still figuring out.  But you're a good sport, better than your Momma I think. Emmie adores you and calls you "babydoll". She often checks to make sure we bring you along wherever we go and you are the first being she looks for upon waking up. The cats have sadly been surpassed by you.  Its hot now so we've spent many an afternoon out in the backyard. Emmie loves water and we water everything in sight, including Lena's toes.  Here's to an easier next 6 weeks baby girl, some good sleep and special summer memories since we're already midsummer.
