Month One: Favorites

Favorite Things:
1. When she smiles in her sleep.
2. Watching her suck on a pacifier.
3. When she is wide awake and looking around.
4. Watching how absurdly strong she is...holding her head up, grabbing things, pushing with her legs, etc.
5. When Pete plays with her.
6. Her cry. I mean, I hate it, but it's so pathetic that I kind of love it too.
7. Her weird and funny faces. I have to try to catch them all on camera.
8. Feeding her. She could be in the midst of a huge tantrum, but the moment she has food, her entire face changes and she completely focuses on the food.
9. Cuddling with her. It kind of sucks that she doesn't like to sleep in her Pack N' Play, but it's kind of cute knowing that she'd rather be cuddling while she sleeps.
10. Having her meet so many family members.
11. That she loves music. For example, she cries when we change her, but we have this musical sun (thanks, Caitlin!) that calms her down if we put it next to her.
12. That she is so grunty.
13. Her chubby face, chin, hands, belly, legs, etc.
14. That she sleeps with her hands by her face. Apparently Pete did this too. :)

Un-Favorite Things:
1. Getting mastitis. Twice.
2. Never really sleeping, because even when I "sleep" I constantly get up to check her.
3. Having her projectile poop on me. And Pete. And Nancy.
4. Constantly worrying about the milk supply. And everything.
