the Novakz

So Bella is 6.5 weeks old now. She’s been sleeping great and only waking up 1-2 times a night. She’s growing steadily and adding new things to her repertoire every day. She’s getting pretty good at holding her neck up so she’s really close to having full control. She has learned the fine art of smiling and does a lot of it every morning at about 6 am. It’s really cute. I wish I could show you, but everytime she does it and I put a camera in her face, she fixates on the camera… and the smile goes away. I’ve tried to snap them quick but they are way out of focus. I’ll get a pic sooner or later. She’s also kind of learning to laugh, it’s sort of like a rapid breathing, but we can tell she’s trying. Soon enough on that too.

Let’s see what else, Bella is starting to “coo” and so in the morning when she’s smiling she’ll also sort of talk a little. I don’t think it’s what most people would call completely cooing. it’s mostly little noises, but she’s trying to say something. It was funny, today I was holding her in my left arm and playing chords with my right on the piano. I was singing her a song and she was kind of singing with me. She was just making long sounds kind of soft and drawn out and lets just say it was mega cute.

So that’s about it, things are going great. We’re really looking forward to the holidays and a great new year. We hope all is well with everyone and hope to talk to and see you all soon.

Here are some new pics of Bella, mostly of her playing on the bed and on her fun mat. Enjoy!
