Today Steve picked up the photos we had done at Target for Sofie's 1 month pics. They are so cute. I've seen them a few times online and of course I was there, but looking through them again I started getting teary eyed. I love my little girl so much! I feel so blessed that she's healthy and thriving.
Today she was a clingy baby. She hasn't slept much and pretty much just wants to eat or at the very least use me as a pacifier. I've tried to give her an actual pacifier, but most of the time it's a no go. She'll spit it right out and usually screams her head off. Give her the boob and she passes right out. I don't mind at all that she's been a clingy baby. I love spending time with her in my arms. I don't get much done, but that's ok with me. I was able to put her in her sling and vacuum a bit, but that didn't last very long. Gotta go! She's up again.

Hi

Here's my intro...

First off, I'm not a writer. I will probably ramble and possibly lose track of the topic in the post. I might not spell things wrong, but that's because Blogger has spell check. I will definitely misuse punctuation. Now that that's out of the way, lets get started. Our new adventure began on September 21st, 2011. Our daughter was born at 3:11pm. With a healthy cry as she entered this world, she created a family. Our family.  

It's been 5 weeks exactly since the picture above was taken.

This is what she looks like now.

Life is starting to feel normal. An awesome new normal. That will change again once I go back to work, but for now I'm just enjoying every day with my daughter. Our days right now revolve around our girl. When she's tired, she sleeps. I join her some times. When she's hungry, she eats. I'm her food source right now so where I go, she goes. I love it and am really enjoying being the only one who can provide that particular comfort for her. When I go back to work, I'll have to share that job so for now I need it to be just me. It's hard sometimes being the only one that can feed her, but it's also the best feeling in the world...until she bites me. Luckily she doesn't have teeth yet. 

We haven't been up to much this past month; just trying to get to know our girl. Things have been way better than I thought they would be. Sometimes I get cabin fever, but it's not too bad. We're usually out and about every few days and at least one weekend day we go to my parents house. I also plan on starting some craft things again soon. I'm going to start off with flash cards for Sofie. Since she only sees in black and white and shades of gray right now I'm going to do flash cards like that. Once she's about 4 months old, I'll turn the B/W flash cards into colorful ones. I think this will be an easy starter project. Since I'm all motivated and she's still asleep, I'm going to get started on this project. Will post pictures later.
