How has it already been one month? I never used to understand parents paying attention to month-birthdays, but I get it now. You need something to give you your bearings as your life is being turned upside down. Insert cliche sentiment about wanting time to stop here.
The other day I told Will in what he called a "classic Anna statement" that I didn't want her to get any bigger, because toddler Mollie and teenager Mollie could be good, but we already knew that baby Mollie was great. He pointed out that the last time I wanted to halt time and stay in a phase was when I was pregnant...and what followed was infinitely better. I think he's probably right.
I can't get enough of this girl. I love that her right ear folds at the top just like Will's. I love that she holds her thumb between her first two fingers just like I always have. I love seeing her practice smiling at the ceiling. I love that she curls her hand around our fingers while we're feeding her. I love that she reaches out to touch the stripes on the back of the rocker when she's sleepy. I love that I can already tell that she's going to be feisty (even if our neighbors don't appreciate such "spirit" in the middle of the night). I've loved this month, and can't imagine how I'll love the next one more.
Love Beams.
