Things seem to have slowed down to a much calmer pace these last weeks. After the busy (and exahausted) weeks following Amy's birth, followed shortly by the flurry of her baptism weekend, we have settled now into a happy rhythm of the everyday.
This is the face I get to wake up to every day, and I am reminded of just how lucky I am to be able to stay home with this precious girl. She is so much fun as she is starting to develop her little personality (I'm afraid she veers slightly toward the realm of Drama Queen...haha). But thankfully I know how to deal with that! :)
She is no longer interested in being a baby, much to Daddy's dismay. The other day he was lamenting the loss of his little snuggle-bug who would simply curl up on his chest and drift off into sleep. Not only is she just too big for that anymore, she just has Too Much To See And Do to be so still!
She's also in a Mommy Phase. If Mommy is present, no one else should be holding Miss Amy (even Daddy)...in her opinion. Otherwise, we run the risk of this:
Very sad indeed.
But she and Daddy are bonding some more, and he is the bathtime specialist these days. It's his time with her in her bedtime routine, and she is realizing more and more that her Daddy is super awesome and a pretty funny guy. :)
We're hoping to get a webcam in the next month or two and start Skype-ing with my family in SC...I am hoping it will help her recognize everyone as well as hear their voices.
Christmas seems right around the corner all of a sudden, and we'll be heading up to South Bend to join in the Mullally Christmas this year. I am so excited for Amy to meet my own aunts, uncles, and cousins! My family will be driving up there as well, so Amy will get to spend some time with them too! I think they'll be amazed at how much she's changed since they last saw her in September!
She is Miss Mobility these days too...she's rolling from front to back and pushing her feet into the floor to scoot around on her back. She is grabbing toys with her hands AND her feet, and is "talking" up a storm. She keeps us in line. :)
I also got some pretty hearty laughs just this morning. It just keeps reminding me of how grateful I am that I'm here to experience all these little milestones.
