Glimmer Like Gold

Lily Abigail is 2 months old!

Feed, burp, change diaper, switch sides, feed some more, burp some more, play, swaddle, nap...then the routine continues again every 2 1/2 to 3 hours! This has been our life since Lily Abigail was born exactly two months ago on Sunday, and I wouldn't change it for anything. If you were to ask me the same just a few weeks ago...I may have answered a bit differently. Nevertheless, once she began showing us her full gummy smile, and now that she has started talking to us in her sweet little baby language, I can honestly say...no, I would not trade it for the world :). I always wondered what the big deal was when I saw other parents acting crazy when their baby started smiling and cooing, you would have thought they were the first human to have landed on the moon. Now, I get it. After a month and a half of red face screams and feeling like sleep was a far off dream, feeling like this tiny human you know in your mind is your daughter, but in your heart you aren't quite even sure what that means yet...that tiny glimmer of connection is like gold off the shore of a stormy sea.
