If every month means we're making leaps and bounds as this past month, then we're gucci baby! LOL. Yes, I said gucci. I don't really talk like that, but you get my drift.
Nyomi is the best baby ever! She is getting so much better with car rides, and the car seat in general, not having to be held all day, and going to sleep on a regular schedule. You should hear this little lady when it's time for her to be sleeping and I've got her doing something else. My baby is definitely a creature of habit, and that works for me!
She is smiling genuinely (not just gassy grins) and greets me with a smile EVERY morning. Part of me knows it's because she knows I'm her food source. LOL. But the other day, I caught her staring intently at my face. I looked her in the eyes and smiled, she smiled back. My heart swelled to a bigger size, and I realized, this baby, who doesn't yet understand what the word love means, definitely knows what the feeling of love is.
These are the times that I will get unadulterated, pure, honest love from her. She doesn't yet have a long term memory, so those times where I wait too long to feed her, or clumsily put her clothes on, or don't realize she needs to burp--again, are all long forgotten seconds after they happen. And as soon as mommy makes it right, she looks up at me and smiles this cute toothless grin, that lets me know she loves me still flaws and all; and I love her right back!!
Thank God her memory is not so great right now, because 2 month old shots are right around the corner, on Tuesday. I'm not ready...so not ready. But just like pregnancy and birth and these past 2 months--I'll face it like a woman, and remember that it too shall pass!
Until next time, greet someone in pure, simple, love--give them a smile!
