Tomorrow at 11:39am we will have had our daughter for 2 weeks. Crazy to think its already been two weeks but it has. When I look at my little girl I can see she is already growing and she is quickly transforming from a squishy little lump to an alert and figity little girl. She spends more time awake and when she is awake she is moving around, kicking and reaching and her grasp is becoming more confident. Christy and I can’t believe that in just a few short months she will be crawling!
Before she was born I assumed I would look forward to her growing a little and becoming a little kid that I could relate to and that I could get smiles out of. Now that she is here I want to freeze time; I don’t want her to grow up at all and I love getting up with her in the middle of the night and I love sitting with her on the couch so we can let Mom get some sleep. These times are going to be so brief I want to soak it all up as much as I can.
We have learned a lot about her like how much she loves to sleep on the couch pillows. She is dead quiet on the couch and for some reason she isn’t as in love with her cradle in our bedroom. We have learned she likes to have her legs swaddled but not her arms because she prefers to sleep with her arms up over her head. Now, for as many things as we have learned about her we have developed even more questions. I suppose that might always stay out of balance.
To celebrate 2 weeks I have a few pictures of her time with us so far. Some of you have been asking. You can see more on my Flickr stream as well as on my Facebook.
