We have been blessed with the best baby ever. Our other kids by a day or two old started crying and never seemed to stop for months. Jacob never cried but he ate all the time and then we had our share of problems with everything else with him. Well Averien is a blessing to us. She sleeps so well. She will eat and then go to sleep for 2 plus hours. She'll wake up with just a tiny cry or by making noises. You can change her diaper and she just lays and kicks her legs. None of our other kids were like that. I remember Kaelen screaming in the hospital when we changed his diaper. She will sometimes stay awake for 20 minutes at most and then go to sleep. When she is awake she will look around everywhere like she is trying absorb and take everything in. She is always so content. She burps very well too and there are times where she doesn't even need to burp. She is just so happy. The last 3 nights she has slept 4-5 hours at one time. My kids didn't even do that at 3 months old. We have not had a baby that sleeps about 23 hours out of the day.

This video is of her crying. This is pretty much what her cry sounds like and how long it lasts. It is the most amazing thing. I know she is only a week old (this was filmed at 3 days old) but none of our other kids were this good, even at the beginning.

The video is dark because we had the lights dim in the room. Rachel filmed it for me.

I think it is such a sweet little cry. It makes me even more nervous to see how my little one does. I think you guys have been really blessed with such wonderful and beautiful children.

ok, I know I saw this post too and thought I put a comment. That's so weird. I love her little cry. I bet she is so big now. I can't wait to see her at Easter.
