Seven

 Seven weeks already.... can it really be true?  Its hard to believe this sweet baby has been with us so long already, especially because she's still so little.  Two of her friends were born in the last 2 weeks and they've already surpassed her in weight! She's still in newborn size diapers and just now moving into 0-3 month clothing.

 This week marked a big change in baby Lena.  She's had her first real smiles (have not caught any on camera yet) and she's suddenly very observant, listening to music and turning towards it, watching Emmeline's face intently, watching the cats,  following us with her eyes wherever we move.  Its exciting to watch these explorations unfold in someone so tiny.  Everything seems so monumental.  We showed Lena her first stars, pointed out the leaves, the wind, the rain. She even wore her first swimsuit (though of course she didn't swim).  This baby is noisy! She grunts, peeps and makes chicken sounds much more than big sister ever did. It is really quite funny. Here are a few of our new faces.
