Edie was eight weeks last Friday, but as her Amma rightly pointed out to me, today is her two month birthday. Napping is still our main challenge. It is more than a little hear-breaking, but we try to be tough in order to get our kiddo the rest she so desperately needs and yet so fervently does not want to get. Will and I have turned into jiggling, shushing pod-people. (Not two minutes ago, I caught Will shushing lovingly at Edie's monitor. I have been known to shush passing ambulance sirens.)
A lot has changed in two months! Edie is getting more and more little person-like. Smiles, batting at hanging toys, occasionally squawking at the dogs, and a slowly-improving tummy-time regimen are some of her most notable accomplishments of late.
Here are some pics of Magical No Sleep Baby, as her father adoringly refers to her as, on this, her two month b-day.
Wow, she is a LOT more little person-like! Nothing like a new baby to illustrate anicca...
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Sometimes we chant it during her meltdowns :)
ReplyDeleteShe makes the word cute absolete. I still marvel how a tiny non-verbal id driving living being (I almost spelled that bean--too much gardening lately) can take control, change everything around her yet we tear up in appreciation when she gives us a smile. That's power.
