(Almost 3 Months)
But she's only awake 8 hours a day, if that. And she will only be a baby for so long.
I now see that I should be glad my little girl dislikes the bottle and that noisiness distracts her from eating. I just realized I enjoy that she requires a sit in the rocker in my quiet dark room.
I get to hold my baby and worry about nothing else.
I get to sing her songs and rub her fluffy little head and squishy cheeks.
I get to inspect her little hands and pudgy feet, hoping I can always remember them as they are now.
I get to tell her how lovely and sweet she is and receive lovely, sweet smiles in return.
I get to feel like I'm accomplishing the most important thing all day, without lifting a finger.
Because I am. Thank you Esme.

Well written :) I am trying to enjoy the most important aspect of my day as well -
Aren't babies just the most wonderful little blessings? I think they have magical properties. ;)
Well said. You left out the part about wanting to eat Esme though. Or am I the only one?
Ciril, Squeeze...yes. Eat...no. But I have heard of this. I've heard people use the word "delicious" when talking about their baby.
