Today you are 3 whole weeks old and all I can think is where did the time go?? You have changed so much in the last few weeks it continues to amaze me everyday. Right now you're laying on the couch beside me staring and talking contently to a pink bear that Mamaw (Brenda) gave you. So far pink seems to be your color, as you also like talking to big sisters pink poodle. The amount you eat continues to increase daily it seems, in no time you'll be walking it off! Although I'm a little scared that we have created a lap sleeping monster, as you seem much more content sleeping in mommy or daddys arms than any other surface. Last night we actually had to take shifts, to let you sleep sprawled across one of us at all times. Seems soon as you hit a non human surface, you're up and wanting to talk and play. Which is adorable, don't get me wrong, just not as much so at 3, 4 and 5 am. I'm thinking this may be a phase or just a couple nights thing though, as it's only been the last 2 and that isn't a real pattern..........I will say all of the other, more normal hours of the day, I'm perfectly fine with you laying in my arms and could stare at you for hours. You are the most verbal little baby, always cooing and singing in your sleep, making the cutest faces, even your frowns are sweet! I can't possibly imagine what it is you dream about, must be a lot of boob dreaming cause everytime you wake up that's the first thing you go for.
You've yet to have a bottle, but in a week and a half when we go to the beach, you may meet one at some point. Mommy really wants some her and daddy time, don't worry, just a couple hours here and there. It's strange, after this whole 10ish month experience, it feels so brand new with him and I can't wait to get some alone time..... you'll understand and appreciate that one day I promise. His is the most amazing man in the world and you are the luckiest little girl to have him as a daddy. I know he thinks he's pretty lucky to have you too. I hope you get his patience and kindness, and the pure goodness in his heart, cause he is pretty spectacular.
Your 3 week well child appointment is tomorrow and I really hope it's not shot time already! I didn't ask last visit and can't remember the ages on those. Daddy has to work so it'll just be you and I and I hate seeing you stuck! I can't wait to see how much you weigh though. On July 5 you weighed 8 pounds, and I'm curious to see what you have gained.
This time with you is flying little girl and if I knew a way to slow it I certainly would. I only hate your daddy didn't get more time to stay home with us, but we'll have a whole week together at the beach! I know Bailey is certainly looking forward to seeing you dip your little toes in the water......next year you'll be wading right in it with her!!
Much love my little sweetness...
Mommy
