6 weeks old already!!!

FIRST PLAYDATE on Friday with my friend's daughter Sofia.
Sofia's due date was 2 days before Laura's.
Sofia was born a week late though... Laura was born 2 weeks early.

This is boring mom!!!

Sofia says: Hey this girl is no fun... she sleeps all the time.

That's all for now....

Oh, Carmen, thank you! I can't believe how much hair Laura has! And, her eyes are so beautiful! I love the ones of her with the puppies, they look like they all fit so well together! You look wonderful, thank you for including the one of you and Laura, together! Two very pretty ladies! Yay for photos of Laura Grace! It **IS** is a good day!

I, too, love the one with the doggies. Beenie looks like she is on guard, watching over the two "kids" in her care! How proud she looks, and Laura is obviously right at home with the doggies!

And the picture of you holding her is a great one, she looks so much like you!

Only time will tell, of course, if she gets to keep those blue eyes! My youngest nephew's eyes didn't finish changing color until he was two, now he has dark brown eyes like his Daddy (Lady's Human).

Laura is SO cute! She has such beautiful eyes and hair. And you look great, too, you look like such a natural.

It is so cool that Laura already has a "best friend" her own age! (And two cute dog pals). Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Anyone have one or know of a good brand?

Lyra just started sleeping in her own room 2 nights ago (was in our room until then). She seems fine, but I worry when I can't see her. I'm probably crazy, but I worry about the weirdest things, especially when she isn't making any noise so I can't hear her on the regular monitor. And barging into her room during the night isn't helping my sleep or hers!

Thanks!

Laura is so adorable. I love her eyes.

Thanks for the compliments!

As for the video monitor, I have no idea.

I live in a very small house, and I am a very light sleeper. I did not use a video monitor and frankly, the baby monitor was a huge distraction to my sleep. Huge. J didn't sleep through the night until 14 or 15 months. I heard every night he cried.

Or whimpered.

I responded.

At 7 months, I would probably not advise a baby monitor.

Lyra started sleeping through the night on her own about a month ago (I didn't do anything- the first night I thought it was a fluke, but she's been sleeping from about 8 pm to 4-6 am pretty consistently). I can't hear her crying without the monitor at night because of the window fan, and I can't leave the door open or the cats would jump in her crib. I have been waking up though, not from the noise through the monitor, but from the lack of noise from the monitor.

When I can't hear her (because she's asleep and not crying) or see her, I'm convinced that there's something wrong...so I think the video monitor would help me sleep rather than keep me up.
