Girlfriend is 3 weeks old today! And so far I find her to be quite lovable :). There are hundreds of things I love about her, with more to add to the list each day. But, for the sake of maintaining my readers, I have whittled it down to a top 10 list, in no particular order. I will include pictures of each lovable action if I can find them.
Reminder: I am a first-time mommy. If these are things all babies do, just smile and nod and let me believe my baby is exceptional.
1. On some days, if the mood hits right, I can convince her to cuddle with me on the couch. We stay there for hours and it is heaven.
2. She almost always sneezes in twos. It has gotten to the point that when she sneezes we just wait for the other one to follow. (Not pictured - it is really hard to capture a sneeze, plus, how would we show two?!)
3. Her default position is to have her legs crossed at the ankles, like a true lady. This was also her default position in the womb.
4. She sucks her thumb, but instead of closing the rest of her fingers while sucking she just leaves them all up and touches her face. Related to this, when she gets over-stimulated or stressed out she spreads her fingers wide and touches her face. It is heartbreakingly adorable.
5. She is not bothered by dogs. She took to Toast right away and has made multiple furry friends since her arrival.
6. Even though she can be difficult to take when she cries, her little wailing face is so cute that sometimes I can't help but laugh out loud.
7. She is a very curious little girl. When she can fight back the urge to sleep or eat or cry, she is always taking in her surroundings.
8. She folds her hands, as if in prayer. Sometimes they are perfectly laced up and sometimes there is an extra finger where it shouldn't be, but either way it appears that she is thanking God for her food :).
9. She is a frantic eater. She attacks her food like a shark in chummy waters. At the hospital the nurse even commented on how crazy she gets when going in for the goods. (We are breastfeeding, so for obvious reason, this is not pictured!)
10. She is a great sport, putting up with all kinds of new parent nonsense. Sometimes her facial expression says, "someone save me from these two fools!"
Ok, I guess that is all I will talk about. As I was writing this I kept thinking of more and more things that we love about the babes. But I think you get the idea. We love her. Everything she does is adorable. Best. Baby. Ever.
