Baby Blues

Even though we had heard that every child is different, we still prepared our world for Cailin as if we were expecting Braden again. I got extra burp cloths, prepared the swing and backup swing, made sure there was a path for Aaron to walk the baby at night without falling over anything, etc :). Needless to say, Cailin is her own little girl. She doesn't usually need to be walked at night, isn't a real fan of swings and somehow keeps her food inside her. What does she like? Staring. As a mom, the thing I can often do that makes her the happiest is to stare into her eyes. Motherhood ... what a tough, tough job.

The beautiful blue eyes with long, curly lashes that stare back at me for up to 50 minutes at a time (no exaggeration!)

Oh My Goodness she is the most beautiful thing I've seen for a long time! I soooooooo wish I was there so I could do the 50 minute stare. Did I mention I miss you AND the baby?

Motherhood is sooo hard! My jump from 3 to 5 about did me in and I think my kids are still running the place!
