8 weeks

I'm sure I will say this every month/year that passes, but I cannot believe Lennon is 8 weeks old. The time is passing so quickly, but we are making sure to appreciate every moment we can. It has been amazing to see the changes in our little girl these last eight weeks. She in incredibly alert and often finds the world too interesting to sleep (in other word she is awake a lot!). We have had several strangers comment on how alert she is for her age. Of course we take this to mean that she is quite smart already. This week we had my postpartum checkup with the midwife who delivered Lennon. Cassie was so wonderful during my labor, and we were so happy to see her again. Lennon weighed in at exactly three pounds over birthweight, 11#7.5oz. She has taken to talking a lot, which makes us laugh every time. She often looks very serious, but in between those moments she is full of smiles now. I can't even imagine what changes this next month will bring.
