Grunting and Squealing

We continued to be entertained by Sophia's funny old-man-facial expressions. I think it's so cute how newborns stretch and scrunch up their faces as they are waking up and after they've eaten. Sophia seems to be really chunking up. She gained almost a full pound between her two-week and her three-week check up. She is starting to sleep for longer stretches at night (the max has been 3 hours), but that is only if Yale gives her a couple of bottles before we go to bed. I'm completely amazed at how noisy such a little thing can be. I sleep in her room to make breast feeding easier, but I have to wear ear plugs so that she doesn't constantly wake me up with all of her grunting and squealing. Don't worry, I have no problem waking up as soon as she starts crying. Olivia seems to be adjusting to having a sister. There are times when all of the changes are hard for her, but that is to be expected. She often gives Sophia kisses and wants to hug her. She is also very curious about what the baby is doing. The other day Olivia sat on the floor and deliberately placed a pillow on her lap. She grabbed her doll, lifted her shirt, and started breast feeding her baby. She was so serious and determined. I couldn't help cracking up about that one. Olivia has been very interested in colors lately. She knows the basics (red, green, yellow, blue, orange, purple, black, pink). When we are out in public she loves to point and loudly announce the color of strangers' shirts. I'm glad she knows her colors, but it can create some kind of embarrassing situations.
