Someone want to tell me how this happened?

Everyone told me how fast babies change in the first year, and I knew they were right… but in the back of my mind just didn’t realize how quickly time really is going to fly.

At one month old she:

• Slept all the time.
• HATED diaper changes.
• Seriously loved to eat .
• Barely any of her clothes fit her.
• Had the absolute cutest most heartbreaking cry… is literally sounded like “Ha-waah”.  Broke our hearts and made us melt all at once.

At two months old she:

• Slept only when she couldn’t fight it off anymore and had us up every 2 hours.
• Only kind of hated diaper changes… if she was hungry at the time.
• SERIOUSLY loved to eat, All.The.Time.
• Started to fit into the mounds of cute outfits we had been gifted and inherited.
• Still had her “Ha-waah” cry, but had started to add a couple coos of “How-oooo”.

At three months old she:

• Is sleeping 7-8 hours a night.  (I know how blessed we are)
• Thinks diaper changes are hilarious.  Especially when she pees on Daddy before he can get the next one on.
• Still LOVES to eat.  Goes into a frantic “What if I never eat again?!” mode sometimes if we aren’t fast enough.
• Has grown out of enough clothes for me to fill a tub that is now in the attic.  Sniff.
• Barely cries.  She’s so happy.  And is on just the edge of getting her first real laugh.  (Right now it’s just a “Haaaaaa”)

Time flies so fast.  Even faster now that I’m back to work.  Last night I realized I haven’t heard that heartbreaking “Ha-waah” cry in a long time, and I’m afraid it’s gone.  Don’t get me wrong I don’t want her to be sad… but it was the cutest little cry and I never got it on video.  I was so obsessed with recording all the happy moments and trying to get her to smile, I never thought to get the other cute and precious ones.

I’m slightly tempted to pinch my baby to get her to cry… that’s sad.

Don’t worry I won’t.

But I’ve got the video mode on my phone on standby.  And I’ll be snapping more pics of the unhappy moments too.

And time to start scrapbooking again while I’ve got these memories fresh.  It’s really not just a hobby for enjoyment is it… it’s so important.  Whether or not you use product a or b or post in a gallery or blog or are on a design team or what the heck ever.

Recording memories is important.

Thanks for being here to share mine. 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend dear friends, and see you again soon.
