and then she...

so many changes the past few weeks. she grasps, she shakes, she giggles... a grab bag of new emotions and skills that keep her parents enthralled. she also loves. she has reached for me when sad, and has developed more of a baby cry that can be soothed with softness and love. she's a baby, not an infant, and each day brings more joy.

today she hung out on her tummy for quite some time, and then tucked her knees under her belly, and started to move. in a few minutes, she had moved about a foot! amazing. tonight she was over-tired at bedtime, and after crying on my shoulder, turned her head and gave me a sloppy kiss on my cheek. so sweet.

she loves...............such a sweet and simple way to describe the point at which we can finally feel some reciprocity in the relationship between mom and baby. It just keeps getting better.

"she's a baby, not an infant." Now the fun begins with joyful interactions. What a little sweetie.
