Bad Hair Day

Noelle is 7 weeks old today. She's having a bad hair day, and apparently that upsets her.

It's been so fun to watch her grow. At her last weight check she was 9 pounds, 14 ounces. That means she's gaining nearly an ounce a day! Lately she has been awake a lot more during the day. (Unfortunately much of her awake time today was spent crying.)

Here are some new things she has done recently:

• She is using her hands more and swatting at things.
• She is looking around more and can follow objects with her eyes.
• She is more expressive, and is starting to smile at us.
• She will sometimes copy us when we make a face or stick out our tongue at her.
• Her most surprising accomplishment of the day was turning over from her back to her tummy. We put her down for a nap and a few minutes later when we checked on her, she had rolled over.
• She also attended her first wedding this weekend. When we arrived and realized that we were the only parents daring enough to bring an infant to a wedding, we got a little nervous. Thankfully, Noelle bailed us out and slept through the whole thing.
