Getting to Know the Giggles: Koala

Koala

           Now that Koala is 2 months old and (as I've already established in previous posts) NOT a newborn anymore, it is time to Get To Know Koala on Giggle's Zoo :)

         Koala is a sweet darling baby... she's incredibly easy (SO easy, in fact, I wonder what's in store for me in the future... is she God's Butter-Me-Up-Gift to compensate for the next child?!). LOL Koala is happy almost all of the time, she rarely cries, and when she does she's fairly easy to console. 

         She sleeps through the night already!! Well, most of the time anyway :) The only thing I can find to complain about is that sometimes - maybe once a week - she decides she DOESN'T want to keep her self-appointed schedule of going to sleep at 9:30 (then sleeping soundly until I get her up at 7:00 to get kids ready for school)... SOMETIMES she decides she wants to chat -- cooing and "talking" until 11 or 12... or just 2 nights ago, till 1am! But even THEN  she's not crying or even complaining... she's just not ready to sleep. If I get up, grab my Kindle, and go read in a dark room with only my phone for light, she drifts right off... Darling Little Bird will then sleep till 9 if I can let her.

          Koala is a smiling girl... as I've already shown in previous post last week... And here's another picture, taken on her 2 month birthday:

Isn't she just adorable?! -- OF COURSE she is... why am I asking YOU?! 

         Sweet Little Koala also Giggles!! Only 2 months old! 

Giggling, Happy, Smiling, Darling Baby Koala. 

That about covers it ;-)

Koala's First (recorded) Deliberate Smile!!

Koala is smiling!! 

              Actually, she's smiled since Day 1... seriously!! She HAS! I have pictures to prove it (err... well, *I* don't but Aunt Penguin does... from the morning following her birth). All the silly baby books, and my experiences with her 5 older brothers and sisters, lead me to believe that infants can't - scratch that - don't smile till closer to their 3 month birthday, so... until the last week I was thinking... surely not... she's not really smiling, she's just making faces... not responding to our faces. But sure enough, she smiles when other's smile! AND she's been doing it quite deliberately for several weeks now! AND she's not yet 2 months old! YAY Koala! Anyway! I finally had the camera on-hand when she was in a smiley mood :-D So I'll shut up and post the pictures already! ;-)

"Yes Mama? Is there something I can do for you?"

 Yes my Sweet Little Bird, you can Smile!

"Hmmm... I'll think about it."

 C'mon Sweetie...

"Well, alright."

Isn't her smile just so darn adorable?!

--of course it is ;-)

You Know... 

it's absolutely NO FUN 

editing these photos of my scrapbook pages to maintain anonymity. 

-- just so you know! :)

         I haven't scrapbooked much at all in the last 2 years... what with our home addition and well, STUFF... so these are the ONLY pages I've completed in the last 2 years!! And I managed to do them all in the last 2 weeks... yay me!!... of course, since I haven't been actively scrapping I had to use whatever pictures were right on hand... so there's VERY new ones (pics by Aunt Penguin done in the last few months) and VERY old ones (pictures of Tortoise as an infant -- 10 YEARS ago!). Now that I have a Craft Room, I hope to have regular Scrapbooking Mama Roo Posts. :)

Newborn Koala

I can hardly believe my darling "Little Bird" Koala isn't a newborn anymore...

one day not very long from now I will look up 

and she'll be walking, talking, 

and eventually gently handing me her own tiny bundle of love in the form of 

my Grandchild. And I will wonder where the time went. 

I hope and pray that I give her all the wonderful memories of childhood I possibly can, and enjoy every minute as many hours of happiness and joy 

in her oh-so-short childhood years as possible... 

and that she always knows how much I love her.

*sigh* enough of that!

She may not be a newborn anymore,

but here are the pictures from when she WAS...

just a few short weeks ago...

LOVE this picture!

:D her hair sticks up all over the place and it's SO adorable!

She's so TINY in my hands...
I wonder if this is what God feel like
(you know...with the world in his hands...)

My precious sleeping darling... and her pretty blanket :)

There's Little Bird's little bird.... ahhh I crack myself up...
but seriously, there the little bird (my favorite of her toys - Olivia the Owl)
