5 Weeks Old

My how the past 5 weeks have flown by. I can't believe it. It's true what they say...parenthood is the toughest job you'll ever love. Sal and I have enjoyed every minute with Rianna. She's so cute, even when she crys.

She still wakes up about four times a night, so sleep is a thing of the past for us. I'm breastfeeding her and she's eating very well. She now weighs 11lbs. 10 oz. and is 22.75" long. This puts her in the 97th and 95th percentiles.

She loves to be held. If she's awake, she expects to be in someones arms. Her coloring has lightened up a bit since birth. Looks like she'll be fair just like me. I think her eyes will be brown, but can't say for sure yet.

I'll write more soon.
