Happy 1st Easter!

Today we woke up and were able to celebrate two different special occasions! It's Gloria's first Easter and her 10 week birthday! She's been a very good girl today - eating well and taking great naps (in Rob's arms or on his chest). Just now she's playing on her playmat and she's started doing TWO new things -

lifting her legs up in the air

and she's starting to roll onto her right side.

She got herself into this position all on her own. Rob and I were merely spectators of this amazing thing!

We also have a big ball with chimes in it. I put it near Gloria's hand and I think she's figuring out that when she hits it, it makes the chimes ring. She's so cute!

Yesterday we had a great time at my dad's house. Gloria was well behaved and liked seeing her great-grandma and Auntie Karen again :) She did well in the car too. She slept about a half an hour both ways and was awake and happy looking at her toys for the rest of the time.

"I got a cute 'My First Easter' bunny from my great-grandma!"

"If I give you a half-smile, will you stop taking pictures?"

"Look! I can blow bubbles!"

On Friday night, Gloria went to sleep around 10pm and when we heard her little noises telling us she was ready to eat again, it was 6am!!!! She slept for 8 hours straight. I was in disbelief, thinking that something might be wrong with my clock. But nope, it was really 6 in the morning. She didn't do it again last night, but I really can't complain. She's a good sleeper - sleeping through the night since like 5 weeks old with only a few breaks for eating. We can pretty much count on her going to bed between 8:30 and 10, then sleeping 5-7 hours, eating, sleeping 2-3 hours, eating, and sleeping about 1-1 1/2 more. Gloria is taking after her mommy - she likes her sleep at night.

Remember when Gloria used to be a tiny bundle of baby...in case you don't remember, here's a picture.
