Sorry for not being able to write the past few days...its been an exhausting week! Dad is working non-stop this week, which leaves just us girls all day & night. And by the end of the day, all I want to do is lay in a comfy bed, but I try & stay awake to see Daddy come home, sometimes I make it, most times I don't.
I've loved this time we've spent together bonding & sharing these precious moments together, you're growing a mile a minute. You're already lifting your head and you're talking so much! You always wake up in the best mood! Well, I can't really complain about you, you're a pretty easy baby! Even when we're out running errands, you give me a pretty easy time. But somehow everytime we're in line getting ready to pay, you start fussing, but its not ear-piercing wales so i'll take it.
We had a mini crisis this week, suddenly you're swing stopped working. I don't really blame the swing for pooping out on us, we'd sometimes leave it swinging when you weren't even in there. You always take the longest 2-3 hour naps in it, which is a dream to me because i'll usually get enough time to nap or shower and clean up around the house, have lunch, or just read a magazine. But without it for a day and a half made such a big difference. You weren't as comfy in your bouncer, and its too hot during the day to put you in your room or our room. So we just had to go buy a new one, and it was the best money spent! As I write this to you, you're sound asleep.
Every night we have our nighttime routine, we play and i'll try to keep you up for just a little longer, you take your bath, which you've grown to love (and I really enjoy that you're not crying anymore) and i'll give you a little massage with some bedtime lotion, and then we swaddle. And of course, we can't forget your favorite part...feeding! I like to spend some more time with you, talking to you, sometimes i'll talk you to sleep :)
Tonight I swaddled you, you fussed a little bit, I fed you and you fell right to sleep in your swing! I always thank you for being such a good, happy baby. Sometimes when you were in my belly, I would get frustrated at work, sad, irritated, thanks to all those crazy hormones, and I would worry that you would feel the same. So I would always try my hardest to maintain my emotions, even though the hormones wanted to get the best of me. I'm so happy to have you, and every morning when I wake up to you talking up a storm, im reminded of how good life can be. Thank you again for all the wonderful memories we're making and the many more that await. You can always be sure that mommy will be here to love you, make you smile and hold you close. Love you Ellabear! -Mommy
