Sleeping with Papa
The past couple of days, Gabi has been much more alert, especially in the mornings (begining between 5 and 6 AM when she wakes up to eat and lasting until after her noon-time feeding). She takes a longer nap (or two) in the afternoon and then is awake some in the evenings before settling down for the night sometime about 2:00 AM.
She now lets us know when she is hungry during the day, although she still sleeps well through the night. She usually eats every 2 - 3 hours during the day and every 3 - 4 hours during the night. We are incredibly lucky with our sweet baby's easy-going temperment and sleep-wake cycle. I have been told that most newborns are nocturnal, but Gabriella seems to prefer daytime play time. And added benefit to this is that Gabi will open her eyes when the room is lit with natural light through the windows but not when the lights are turned on, so this way we can see her pretty eyes and play with her more than we could at night.

Hello dear brother and proud mother,
It's Chrissie...and I must say how much I am yearning to hold and kiss my little niece. Everytime I see new pictures I whine to Jordan about wanting to touch her. Ah, the woes of living 2500 miles away and going to college. She looks absolutely amazing and so beautiful. I really can't wait for the whole family to come up for graduation (which I greatly appreciate!). She looks so happy...and Lissa, you look so fabulous for just having a baby!! Take care of little Gabi Chrissie!! Wheee!!
Love you all,
Christine :D

Ack! We've been Christine'd! Sorry you couldn't come visit, Auntie Chrissie. By the time she comes up to visit Spokane for your gradjitation, she'll be more than 2 months old. Well, chances are, she'll still be tiny, and she'll indubitably still be cute. We look forward to seeing you in May. It will be Gabi's first plane flight!
