A few days shy of 8 WEEKS already

We are approaching 8 weeks in a few days and little Miss Arlee is really awake to the world now. She has discovered she has hands, she stares at them like they are foreign objects. She will hold on to her rattle but I don't think she realizes she is. We have been able to play on the floor alot more, she will play for about an hour at a time then shes wiped out. It doesn't take much to wear her out. Walks in the stroller are our new favorite thing. If she stays awake she loves to watch everything. She will definitely love the outdoors. Next week Arlee goes to the Dr. for her 2 month check-up, and get shots! Ouch, i'm not prepared for that yet. I'm curious to know what the Dr.'s office weighs her at, she hasn't been weighed since her 1 month check-up. I weighed her with our scale and shes at 12.5 lbs. She sure does loves to eat. We are at 5oz every 4 hours during the day and waking up only once to eat in the night. It seems once we get used to a feeding schedule she has a growth spurt and we get all out of order again. Just to think her little tum tum could only each 1.5 oz a feeding when she was born.

The time is approaching for me to head back to work. Monday I start with a full day and night. I don't think I will worry to much with my grandma watching Arlee at our house. With trying to unpack, finishing the house, and starting a business I feel like I haven't been able to enjoy maternity leave.We have all our stuff moved in now. The house is almost all done being remodeled. So finally, I have been able to spend alot more uninterrupted time with Arlee, which is what I hoped I could do before going back to work.
