New version of lazy weekends


Before we went to bed on Saturday night, Shawn said he couldn't wait to sleep in on Sunday morning. I looked at Emma and said, "Honey, Emma doesn't know what weekends are." Sure enough, my little love was awake at 7:00am. I fed her for a while, and then let Shawn have some daddy daughter time while I made blueberry pancakes. We ate them on our patio before it started raining. Emma wore one of the new outfits her Grandparents bought for her. The rest of the day went about the same as every other day; sleep, wake to get a clean diaper, breastfeed, sleep again, with a little bit of quite alert time in between.

She smiled at me the other morning. As she was waking, I said good morning, and she gave me a big smile. I don't know if they are supposed to be smiling yet, but it sure looked like she did. Aside from having a cold and not being able to get better because I am constantly caring for Emma, things are going well. I am getting more confident in my mothering skills, and am absolutely in love with my little girl. She is focusing on my face really well, I get lost in her eyes. And when she falls asleep curled up on my chest, I don't care that there are a million things I could be doing while she sleeps.
















Look at my little crazy haired girl :)
