Tiny Fingers -

Dearest Lilah,

Today I noticed you noticing your hands. You sat, fascinated, while you rubbed first one hand and then the other...back and forth, stroking your own fingers and just watching as your realized the sensation you felt was connected to the actions you were controlling. It was neat.

Then you had super baby time with daddy tonight. You looked like a tiny dancer in the air, with your big grin and perfectly straight little legs as he "flew" you around. You are so happy with him, and I can really tell that you love him a lot. And boy does he love you!

You slept a long time today. You went to bed around 9:30 last night and slept straight through 4:00am. Then you slept again until about 7:00. After I changed you and got you fed, you went back to sleep again...until 11:30! We have concluded that you must be having quite the growth spurt, because you definitely do not normally sleep for 14 hours!

Anyway, we had a nice day today, we listened to lots of music and had a short outing to Wal-Mart. I wore you around and you slept. Some more. :-) I picked out fabrics for some gifts for your new friends, Baby Hannah and Baby CrawDod. Now if you'll just give me a few minutes tomorrow to cut some things out and start sewing them...

Love,
Mommy
