Amazing Changes

Momma and Kate in the Moby wrap

Each day there is something new. A few weeks ago Kate discovered her hands. Now she chews on them. Last week she started teething. Now her two bottom teeth starting to push through. A few days ago she started cooing “ooo” when she hears music. She literally changes everyday, which keeps me on my toes as I search for a new movement or sound. I love the fact that she can interact with us more now. It makes my time with her so much more special and I really feel like she enjoys our time together. The joy I feel when I hold her is indescribable. I must say that part of me wants to keep her this age longer. She is such a momma’s girl right now and that feels so good. I’m sure one day she’ll me a daddy’s girl and I’ll be old news. But for now I’m thoroughly enjoying being the one who can make her smile the biggest and calm her down when she’s upset. I guess the greatest and most welcomed change of all began within the past week. She had been increasing her amount of sleep time at night to around six hours throughout the past month, which was great. The awesome thing is that within the past week she has slept nine hour stretches at night two different times. It’s so nice to not wake up till the sun comes up. I’m sure things may change as her teething progresses but for now I’m enjoying catching up on months of lost sleep.
