Wow, it's been a month already. Part of me still has trouble believing that the precious little girl I'm currently watch sleep is really mine. The rest of me finds it impossible to believe she was ever NOT a part of my life. As corny as it sounds, everyone is right when they say a baby changes you. Not so much that I'm not me anymore, or that I'm suffering from sleep deprevation, or that I have more responsibility now. Instead it's just that she's there, there in all of my thoughts, in my mind from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep, in my heart every moment of every day, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Anyway, one of the promises I made to myself was to document the changes I notice every month and it's finally time for the first month. So Sarah, in the last month your daddy and I have watched as:
* You gained 4 pounds to be over 12 pounds already, good girl
* You went from eating 2 oz each feeding to between 5-6 oz. That explains the 4 pounds. lol
* You have let us sleep 8 hours straight 2 nights, but mostly you're up to 5 hours sleep at a time
* You grab ahold of our hands as we hold your bottle for you, sometimes even grabbing the bottle itself, nothing gets between you and dinner.
* You had the first bath this morning that you actually enjoyed, grinning at us the whole time.
* You are smiling alot now, that just started in the last week and you have several different smiles that your daddy and I are loving.
* You have developed a love affair with our wooden buddha statue and will stare at him for hours, only for someone dubbed the 'Zen baby'.
* You are finally sleeping in your crib most nights after sleeping in the lamb swing for 3 weeks.
* You had your first overnight sleepover with your cousins and aunt, they loved it and so did you
Your daddy and I are so proud of you and so in love it defies description. I can't wait to be able to update next month with everything the next 30 days brings us.
Love, Mom
