Things I Don't Want to Forget

So for the past month i have had a running tally of things in my head that I don't want to forget. My sweet girl is only so little for so little and I have to write these things down before they are gone from my memory forever :) (which could happen sooner than you think) So, in no particular order, here are a few things that have been mulling around in my head when I think about my Lydia.

- The way she hates to be woken up. She is a grunter in general, but when she is woken up before she wants to be, there is a fit of grunting that one would never think could come out of such a tiny human being.

- The grunting. Although it doesn't really seem all that amusing when we are trying to sleep at night, during the day it is so stinking cute.

- Crying. Rarely does she cry, but when she does, it is so sad and adorable all at the same time. When she really gets going (again rarely), her wide open mouth shows her tiny little gums and that wailing can be heard for miles. So sad, but oh so precious.

- I must document this.... currently she is sleeping and making little wimpering sounds. Adorable.

- I love when she is eating and she makes noises like it is the most nourishing and pleasurable thing in the world (which it probably is). She eats and swallows and makes noises like one would make when he or she gets am ice cold glass of water on a hot day. Oh so refreshing.

- She has a face that likens to that of Popeye. One eye closed and round little cheeks :)

- Stretching. Always she is stretching. Usually she has kicked out of her swaddle by the time she wakes up. I have to be creative if I want her to stay swaddled until her next middle of the night feeding.

- When she is awake, she is wide-eyed in wonder; alway taking in her surroundings.

- I love when she looks at my eyes. She just stares and stares. Oh she has completely captured my heart.

- She loves her daddy. Andy is so good with her and she loves spending time with him.

I am sure the list will go on and on. But for now, these are a few things I don't want to forget.
