five on friday

five things you should know about Mattie Claire:

1.  She is so sweet and mellow.  Even at the doctor when she was being poked and prodded Mattie was  quiet and peaceful.  She's happy to lay on a blanket near us while we play and generally just goes along with the flow.  She also is super cuddly which is just about the best thing a newborn can be.
2.  She has hair!  Jillian was pretty much bald until she turned one so I am loving Mattie's dark, silky locks.  
3.  She is a dreamy sleeper.  During the night she wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat but then falls right back to sleep.  She even slept for 5 hours straight one night! (I don't think Jilly slept 5 hours straight until she was 6 months old.)
4.  At birth Mattie was 2 ounces smaller than Jillian but 2 inches longer.  All of the newborn clothes that fit Jilly for a few weeks are floods on Miss Mattie!
5.  When she wakes up Mattie always opens her right eye first then her left eye a few seconds later.

Isnt it funny how much they can look alike and be so different!?
Mattie is one cute girl! Is there a story behind her name? I love hearing what went in to picking baby names!

Okay, the link within brought me back to this. Look how little Mattie was! Why are little babies so stinkin' cute!? I have to keep reminding myself how hard it is when they're not sleeping.
