so, one thing that is so amazing about babies is their ability to learn and change day-to-day. today, for example, on March 18, 2015, i see that she has learned how to hold a toy and put it to her mouth. yesterday, she couldn't do it, today, she looked like she'd been doing it all her life! it's so so amazing.
i think this would be like me not knowing how to sew yesterday, but today, being able to put together a perfect quilt by hand. or today, suddenly realizing i know how to play the guitar. or suddenly realizing i can speak French. i'm sure it's just as surprising for the baby. it might be why she has had a little bit of a fussy patch these past few early mornings, since i think learning new skills affects their sleep. (sorry neighbors)
i'm thinking of putting Eden in Moses's room soon. i just have to make sure she really is sleeping through the night, and then also make sure we can really coordinate both bedtimes to be the same. but it'll be soon. and hallelujah, Shane and i will have our room back to ourselves again. actually, i don't think we've ever had a time in this apartment where we've slept just us two in our bed/room together yet. when we first moved in, i was pregnant, and in so much pain from PSD that i only ever slept on the recliner in the living room. and then after Eden was born, well, we weren't sleeping just us two. i do miss her already though. i miss our sweet nursing times during the night. i miss her sleeping heavily at my breast, drunk from deep slumber and milk. i love that sweet baby girl. i feel it in my joints how much i love her.
