Almost 6 weeks old!

Helena is almost 6 weeks old. She is doing pretty well. She has longer periods of being awake but has thrown her very predictable schedule out the window. She used to eat about 4 ounces every 4 hours like clockwork, but has given that up. Now it can be 2 ounces or 6 ounces 1 to 5 hours apart, you just never know with this one. She is growing and her face is changing again. She is getting her chubby cheeks back again. She had cute chubby cheeks when she was born but lost them for a bit.. but they are coming back. Her favorite thing, or at least the thing that calms her down the best when she is mad is the bath. She likes to be in the warm water and float. She doesn't mind getting washed and she will even tolerate her older sister washing her feet, knees, and legs while she's in the tub. Sophia loves to help her and Helena doesn't seem to mind.
We are so grateful to have Helena as part of our family.
