I'm writing this on what is actually your 44th day of life. For 44 days you have been the center of my whole world, changing the way I think, sleep, eat and even drive.
Only hours after you were born, you started to raise your head and hold it up for a few seconds then rest it right back on my shoulder. Then you'd try it all over again, raising your head for just a few more seconds each time. The doctors all told me that you were advanced. Well I'm more than proud to say that not only can you hold your own head up for more than just a few seconds, you can sit up with nothing but a hand in front of or behind you. And thats you're preferred position, always sitting up so that you can see everything thats going on, God forbid you miss something! You're very particular about what you want to be doing and get bored pretty quickly if we're just sitting around. You love to be entertained, and to be talked to. And you love to "talk" right back. Your little coos are almost too precious for me to handle.
Your little personality is starting to show more of itself and I couldn't be more in love! You're growing so quickly too, just last night I came home from work and your father had you in a onesie...a 9 months onesie and it was only big in the shoulders. I almost cried. Tomorrow we head to the doctor for regular 6 week checkups for both of us. (update: You, Harper, are above the 95th percentile in Height, Weight and Head Circumference, you weighed in at 12.15 lbs and measured 23 1/2 inches tall, 39 cm head.)
I just love watch you grow and change. You'll be 2 months old before we know. Where did the time go?
Love, Mama
