The other day Dan was commenting on how Felicity is like a time vortex. When we are with her somehow time is sucked into this swirling, whirling cloud of diapers, feedings, coos, naps and the ever-flowing fountain of milk spouting from her tiny mouth...Seconds turn into minutes that turn into hours, and before we know it a whole day or week has gotten away from us.
So before the girl is three months, I figure I should probably write down some thoughts on her second month, and hopefully at some point I'll actually be writing
about her in real time...one can hope.
Month Two with the Girl:
The BeSt thing about month two has to be the new noises our girl produces...especially when we hear them first thing in the morning as she's lying in her little crib. We call it chirping, and it sounds like she's sucking in air and squeaking at the same time. Usually it's followed by a sweet, quivery sigh that just melts our hearts!
Felicity continues to absolutely despise tummy time. She either revolts by simply keeping her head down or she starts crying two seconds after she lifts it up. I keep telling her this will help her crawl one day, but she doesn't seem to understand :)
We took our first road trip to KC for Christmas, and Felicity handled it splendidly sleeping most of the way and actually tolerating some bottle feedings to speed the trip along. The highlight was definitely having our first "conversation" to date with her at Quizno's. Love that sweet little voice!
This month Felicity successfully took her first bottle from Dan while we were at our friends' house. She attended her first ladies tea where she wore her first dress. She endured her first cold, and slept through most of Christmas morning. She did make it through opening up stockings, but that was about it. Of course she had lots of cuddle time with grandparents and her ten month old cousin Benji kissed her at least 10 times in a row...so cute! To top it off her newest cousin Lyla was born on the 22nd making this Christmas full of babies! We are looking forward to watching our little girl enjoy lots of cousin fun in the future.
After Christmas, I packed away the newborn clothes :( It was definitely sad, and it's hard to believe that this is just the beginning of saying goodbye to one season and hello to another...a good reminder to continue living in the present and treasuring these moments up in my heart. I'm so grateful for each and every one.
