a little about a little p

 

Yes, Little P is still with us. Yes, she over a month old now. Yes, I've only dedicated one post to her (and even that one post she had to share with Trish).

Usually when we have a foster baby, his/her pictures and updates are plastered all over my blog on a pretty regular basis. Unfortunately, due to vacations and cancer and just general summer craziness, I'm afraid Little P has gotten the short end of the stick in the blog department.

I don't think she's too happy about it, either.

 

It's okay, Little P. I promise you are just as adorable and have been just as photographed as all of our other babies. See?

Little P (or maybe I should say Not-so-little P) went to the doctor this week and weighed a whopping 9 lbs, 1 oz! She was 6 lbs, 12 oz at birth. What can I say? The girl likes her food. Just what kind of food she likes has yet to be determined. Due to fussiness and spitting up issues (and possibly some diva issues?), we're on our third formula, and she seems to like it the best so far. In fact, she likes it so much that she wants to wake up every four hours and eat some. I know what you're thinking - "Callie, she's a newborn. Of course she wants to eat every four hours." You don't know this newborn. This newborn started sleeping all night (we're talking 7-8 hours) on her second night home from the hospital! She's advanced. And, while she is a bit of a diva sometimes, we think that just gives her more character.

Oh, yeah, and she smiles now. And every once in a while she'll let out a little coo. I've yet to get a picture that showcases her adorable dimples, but I'm not giving up.

By far the most exciting news in the life of Little P is that she met her family last week! I can't wait to tell you all about her mom, dad, and big brother. I'll post pictures and share details when things are a little more official. I'll also share her new name! She's glad to finally be called something that doesn't sound like a child rap star. ;-)

Little P's "Gotcha Day" is set for Monday! Until then, we're soaking up every second we can. :-)
