After I nurse her she is drowsy and full of milk. She cuddles into my neck and she reaches up with her chubby little hand and plays with my hair. Then she sings a little sleepy humming song. I breathe her in, she smells of dreft and the baby lotion in the pink bottle. She is a perfect little human and I am so glad to know her. She is mine to love and hold close.

When she wakes up in the morning she is so happy to see me. She laughs a little bit when I open the door. She is always on her belly and she kind of looks like she is swimming in her crib. Although, lately she has been up on her hands and knees and I think she has been in there practicing her take off. She hasn’t actually crawled continuously yet, but she is very close. She is full of personality, and smiles all the time. She has two tiny little bottom teeth and when she smiles really big you can see them. If you try to look at them any other time and you stick your fingers in there to see, she sticks out her tongue so you can’t see a thing.

She loves her big sister and she watches her intently. No one can make her smile like Addison can. Mostly Alivia is just a joy to be around. She is a funny baby though. She gets serious and she will just stare at you sometimes. Her lips will be straight across and she won’t crack even the tiniest bit of a smile. She just looks at you with her big blue eyes and she blinks and blinks. I wonder what she is thinking about when she does that. I think she is just absorbing all of the things that go on in our house. She is getting used to the dog barking and hearing me yell at Addison. (Yes. I am a yeller). I hope she doesn’t think we are crazy….oh wait, we all are kind of nuts around here
