Daddy's Little Beefcake

So we took sweet Lizzie to the doc on Wednesday, April 13 and she now weights 10.11 ounces!!!  Can you believe it???  At 21 days old, she is in the 97th percentile for her age group!!  Amazing, huh?  Here she is in all her glory, or cuteness.  What a cute little cupcake huh?  Lacey made this cupcake hat for her for my baby shower.  Cute!!

 I love this one above.  She makes the cutest little fists and movements.  Look at those rolls!  I swear she has more today.  I'm so glad she's a big baby.  She also 21 inches long which is in the 80th percentile for her age range.  Amazing!! 

So last night, we left her for the first time alone with Grandma McAllister.  Oh man, I was worried to leave our little 3-week old there but of course she did great.  We went to the West Ridge Academy gala and I wrote an article about it for the Deseret News.   It was a great gala.  Alex Boye performed and we got to sit next to Bishop Burton who is an amazing person and very kind.  He was a lot more soft spoken than I imagined for some reason and had a real light about him. 

It was great to go on a date with Paul but I have to admit Lizzie was on my mind most of the time and I missed her.  Also, I was incredibly sleepy.  I told Paul these 6 weeks are turning into one loooong day because I never really sleep more than 3 hour at a time.  Twilight Zone a bit.  Haha.  I'm sure I'll look back at it and laugh but for now we are one sleepy couple.  Paul is wonderful to help me out and I have been reading this book The Baby Whisperer which says to put your baby to sleep awake.  Sounds great, in theory.  Hahaha.  Well, no time to waste.  Must get back to sleeping while Lizzie sleeps.  Buh bye!
