Riley is just 11 days old now, and she is starting to change dramatically. Gone are the days where she just ate, peed, pooped, slept over and over again. Now she is interested in things. We started to notice the other day that she would stare at us or light objects intently for a few minutes. Now, she is staying awake longer after feeding. She squirms in our arms and looks all over the place, eyes wide open. Yesterday, she decided she wanted me to hold her a certain way so she could look over my shoulder, if I hold her too low, she cries, when I lift her up, she happily watches what ever is behind me. She seems to also enjoy going outside and looking at my garden. I think she approves ;)
When you look into her eyes, they are so much clearer than just a few days ago. I think they are even bluer, too.
She is also getting better at holding her head up, though it still bobbles around quite a bit.
The best part, though, is her range of expressions. They are getting more complex, and maybe even reflect some emotions.
Wow, quite simply amazing what a little baby can do in less than 2 weeks of life.
Update,
She has gained over a pound since birth. We weighed her today at about 8 lbs, 2 ounces.
