10:32 am - Happy Birthday Baby
Emily’s 4 months old today. The first two months were tough. Not to say that they weren’t also good, but they were tough. Now, it’s ALL great. Emily’s smiling so much! And playing. And Chris had her giggling like crazy yesterday. It was so great.
Every simple little thing touches my heart. Checking on her before we go to bed, I pull up the little blanket (which we’re going to have to stop using soon) and stroke her forehead. When I do that, all is right with the world. When I pick her up from daycare and take her home, we go out to check the mail. She snuggles her head onto my neck. It’s SO great. Playing with her as she lays on the floor or the bed, I lean over her and get my face close to hers and she grabs my lips, nose, cheeks, etc and grins. She sits in her exersaucer and is able to mover herself around in circles to look at all the toys. She’s shoving everything in her mouth. She grins and giggles when we change her diaper and even pulls up her outfit to “help” us. She’s sleeping through the night most every night now and I get to wake her up in the morning, gently rubbing her belly, arms, legs, head… After she’s gotten some food in her belly, she’s all smiles. She sits in the bouncy seat in the bathroom while Chris and I get ready for work and watches us. She smiles and giggles and “talks” to the bears that hang off the toy bar on the bouncy. She stars intently into our eyes when we feed her from the bottle. Then her little eyes will crinkle up and she’ll grin at us. She’ll sit in her swing and “talk” to the bears on the mobile overhead.
I feel like this huge void has been filled in my life. And it was a void that I didn’t even know was there. She makes me so happy with everything that she does. I love holding her and having her grasp my fingers in her hand, or stroking the soft skin on her face, stroking her soft, wild hair… Every time I think about it, I want to cry from happiness. My heart swells up in my chest and I just can’t begin to fathom how I could get so lucky. I first get the best husband in the world and then I get the best baby too! Who’s that lucky?
