Resisting doing work, I am on maternity leave and I am not being paid.

Being in the car seat too long
The heat!

Not sleeping with us.
Charlie had her two month visit this week. She is gaining plenty of weight, but is short (fun size) at only the 12% of her age group. Doctor didn't seem concerned at all. We will check her again in a few months.

So in love!
Dear C...
Last night you threw a fit, which is really unusual for you. You have been the best baby, I brag about what a sweet, easy going little girl you are. When you fuss, you are so easy to appease. Last night, I saw tears for the first time ever! Well, you have had blocked tear ducts which have made your eyes sort of... gooey, last night I saw tears. Your daddy was so sweet walking around with you and stood in the bathroom for 10 minutes with the water running. That is one of your favorite things to do. We are in a hotel, because we are moving from the home where you were born to San Antonio. It's a good thing that we have been traveling because our water bill would be outrageous. Your dad bought a white noise app for his phone for you.
This is the second long car trip you have made. It takes us about 5 hours to get from SA to Dallas because we have to stop and take breaks to feed and change you. You have been so patient, you don't love your car seat, and I think you might get a little car sick. I have a feeling that you will get motion sick like your mom. Poor baby, I still can't read in the car.
Which reminds me, one thing that you certainly got from me is that your pinkie is always up. It is so cute! You are seriously advanced for your age and have great coordination and motor skills. You have been using your hand to keep your pacifier in since you were a few days old.
You are so incredibly beautiful and tiny, people stop us constantly just to look at you. People will cross a room to see your sweet face. Your daddy loves to carry you in the Baby Bjorn and you love it in there. People stare at you two. We are so lucky to have you in our lives.
You are always the topic of conversation these days. We are so proud to have you as our daughter. You should see the way your daddy lights up when he sees you, he loves to snuggle with you and give you kisses. He has come up with a bunch of nick names for you and your things. I started calling you Charlie Bear because of the growling noises you make when you are straining or gassy. When you are hungry, you are Hungry Bear, Sleepy, Sleepy Bear, you get the picture. Anyway, your dad loves to tell me what will calm you down. "C loves to have her back rubbed in circular motions clockwise, ok?" I giggle, because I he loves to be an expert on all things you. Your favorite way to relax is being nursed, but I allow your father to give me pointers, it makes him feel good.
I know I am your mom, but you really are the sweetest baby ever! I had no idea loving being a mom would come so easily. I love those sleepy smiles when you are eating and your tummy if satisfied. You are really starting to smile really big now! That started about a week ago, I wish I knew the date. It's like feeling you kick, at first you don't know if it's gas or real until it happens regularly. Now, I know those are smiles. I can't believe how strong your neck is! You can hold your head up when you are on your tummy and elbows. That is so amazing!!
I can't wait until you have a baby of your own, as your Grandjan says, "when you have one of your own, you will truly know how much you are loved."
