Baby's First Denim!!


So around 2:47 this morning I awoke to Lainey's usual gurgling and cooing. She was awake and ready to eat! I leaned over the bed to look at her in her bassinet and sure enough SHE GREW! I swear to God the girl grew during the two and half hours of sleep we had just got. I started getting nervous thinking that she isn't going to be able to sleep in this bassinet forever despite the fact that I would love to have her beside me until she's 50! I fed her and it was time to change her diaper so we went to her room to use the changing table. I unwrap her from the swaddling blanket and she is busting out of her PJ's. This morning we got up and she doesn't fit in any of her newborn clothes anymore! I was sooooooo excited! As much as I want her to stay little for as long as possible I have been dying to put her in some of her ADORABLE 0-3month clothes. So to celebrate Lainey got to wear jeans for the first time in her life. I love the colors in this butterfly onsie and have had it laying out with her jeans for weeks just waiting for her to wear this cute outfit!


Her tiny little legs looks so cute in these jeans!! And of course she is wearing shoe socks!


She absolutely knows how cute she is today because she has been smirking at me all day!
Just like above- ohhh mom You are crazy!



And because I am obsessed with her pooping face...and finally captured it on video....here is a new video for you to watch! Luckily my mom, dad, sister and I have found Skype so these video's don't need to hold them over until they see her again as we try to skype as often as possible. But for those of you who haven't met the monkey yet- here she is in all her glory!

I love.......

I love your birthmarks, the one on your forehead, left eye and the back of your neck. It makes me sad that they are fading though I am sure you will be happy when you are a teenager trying on makeup. I love your wolf ears. This too I know won't last. Your super black hairy ears make me melt every time I see them. I love that the inside of your ears are the shape of a perfect light bulb. I love your poop face. I love that you concentrate so hard and bat your eyes a few times before pooping. I love all your faces. I love your cute little lips. I love that sometimes when you are sleeping you start smacking your lips together like you are dreaming about eating- Mommy dreams about breakfast frequently too! I love your crooked little pinkies. I love your thumbnails- they are so perfectly shaped I am jealous. I love that your fingernails grow faster than anything I could have imagined. I love that your belly is starting to get a little pudge to it. I love that you have an "inny" belly button. I love that your little tush is so tiny its smaller than my palms. I love your toes and I can't wait until you discover them and start eating them the way that I want to now. I love that you LOVE bath time. I love the noises you make when you are eating. I love that when you get frustrated you scream a little and punch your fists. I love that you are smiling now. I love it when you get up in the middle of the night, look right at me and make the biggest smile of the day- I will love it even more when you smile like this in the daylight. I love that your hair is dark on the bottom and light on the top and that your eyes are blue but in some lights have a brownish tint- its keeping the mystery about what color hair and eyes you will have. I love when you snuggle up on my chest and reach your hand up to touch my neck. I love that you look like me. I love that you look like your daddy. I love it when you make this "whoa" face when Boomer gets close to your face- don't worry he is a dog NOT a really hairy human. I LOVE your nose- especially the tip- this I have loved since our very first ultrasound. I love that every day you are changing but that I can still predict your needs. I love it when you fart- I don't know why this is a surprise to me- I knew that babies poop but I just never imagined that babies fart. I laugh out loud every time you do- even during the night. I love that you pee on me 50% of the time I change you. I love that you recognize me. I love that you recognize your daddy. I love your daddy more than ever- he is such a good daddy, such a good husband and he gave me you! I love when you are sleeping and the light comes on you squeeze your eyelids together and it looks like you are "fake" sleeping. I love that you smirk already. I love that there are still a million things I have to learn about you. I love that your eyebrows are so blonde it looks like you don't have any. I love that you learned to breastfeed. I love that you are such a good baby. I love that everyone describes you as dainty. I love that most of the time when you are nursing you fall asleep with a mouth full of milk (like you are storing it up for later) and when I pick you up to burp you you spit it right out at me. I love how nosy you are. I love that when you are sleepy but still want to know what's going on you look at me with only one eye open- we call it the "one eye." Even your cousins know about the "one eye" and will tell me that you are giving them the "one eye." I love when you are laying on my chest you will pick your head up, stretch as far as you can and look around- it reminds me of a turtle. I love you in your yellow polka dot pants with the firefly on the bum. I love when you wear a headband. I love brushing your hair and the way it looks after its brushed. I love that you are soooo cute. I love YOU......and I will forever and ever and ever.....
