Day 19

I can see the changes in my daughter happening rapidly. She’s growing noticeably. Her hair color is lightening and her eyes are staying open longer. Head control is getting much stronger. She’s starting to fixate on objects more (ceiling fans are her favorite). And she’s even holding a smile for longer.

It all happens so fast! Before I know it, she’ll be crawling around and pulling herself up on two feet. Then it’s a short hop to her asking for the car keys to drive her friends to get ice cream.

We had a nice day today visiting with my cousins and celebrating the New Year. This was our first get-together with a baby in the family. I don’t have any siblings, and I am the first of my cousins to have a child. So my daughter is the start of a new generation. It was so special to have her there and to see my cousins light up with love as they held her. Not even her spitting up and then peeing on me while I changed her diaper could dampen the mood.

So long for now.
