There's a little fungus amongus!: 6 weeks old and growing like a weed

Annalise is a quickly growing girl. Here is a little update:

1. She tracks faces and loves to stare into your eyes. When someone new holds her, she inspects them carefully.
2. She has been partially smiling for a little over a week whenever we play with her. Her mouth opens wide and the corners turn up a little. She gave a huge smile yesterday for the first time which was in response to a kiss on her cheek.
3. She lifted her head high while doing tummy time two days ago because Daddy came in and she wanted to see him. It was darling. She held her head high and then dropped it and lifted it high again. I can't get her to repeat this - she just isn't as interested in seeing me as she was in seeing Dave. She always lifts her head a little bit and wiggles around, but this was the first time she fully lifted and pushed up her head and chest.
4. She's still not much of a sleeper. The doctor said she has acid reflux, which hurts her poor little throat. She's on medicine for it, and she has to sleep at an upright angle (which is her swing at the moment). She sleeps for 2-3 hours at a time (usually 2) during the night.

Here are some cute pictures so you can see her progress.

This picture shows her future college plans. Her little outfit says "Cal Poly Mustang."

Go Cal Poly!

Here you can see her in her cute summer outfit and knitted booties (the ones I made while pregnant).

Here are some more cute photos. We love her expressions.

This weekend, I went to a baby shower for our friend who is adopting a little girl from Taiwan. I was able to hang out with some long-time friends and Annalise got to meet some of her future friends, including Charlotte, who was born at the same hospital four weeks later. We can't wait to meet Abigail (from Taiwan) in April/May and Jett (who will be born in April)!
