The weeks of Siri

A friend from work told me that for the first year of her son's life she took a picture of him every week and made a book of all the pictures.  I thought it was a great idea, so I did that with Ellie.  It's SO fun to look at and see how Ellie has grown. We're especially glad to have that book as now we can compare Ellie's looks and changes to Siri's.  
I am now making a book for Siri and have 4 weeks done already!! Can you believe it?  Siri is already 4 weeks old!  She is definitely becoming more aware of her surroundings.  She has more awake periods and requires a little more effort to be put to sleep.  The other night we didn't time our bedtime very well and ended up awake with Siri for an hour before she decided it was time for her to sleep as well.  So instead of the intended early bedtime of 10:30, we ended up asleep at 11:30 as usual!  I am thankful to say that in that hour we were not dealing with a crying baby, just an awake baby.  We have been blessed with a pretty calm baby.....for now! ;)
Anyway, here are the pictures I have picked out for Siri's book so far...
