Discoveries

It seems like Rayanne discovers something new almost every day. :) It is an amazing feeling being a mom. :) I love her so much, and love discovering with her every day, I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to go back to work. :(

Ok...enough about that. :) Last Friday, Rayanne for the first time discovered her feet. It was the cutest thing. We were on our way home from the Dr. office, and Rayanne was sitting in her car seat, looking around. Suddenly...she picks up her left foot, and she looks at it intently. Then, she puts it down, then she picks up her right foot, and looks at it with the same intensity as she looked at the first one. And then she put it down, and just kind of looked. She then got distracted with something else, but it was neat see her discover her feet for the first time. :)

It seems every day, she gets more smiles, and more little faces, it's just amazing to watch her. We are also getting somewhat of a routine down. :) She takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap for sure...I'm just trying to figure out how to get her to nap more consistantly. The morning is good. She gets up at 8, she eats...we play for a bit, and goes back down between 9:30 and 10:00. Then she sleeps till 11. Gets up and eats...then from there it kind of gets messy. I have been busy this week with seeing people...so she eats at 11, and then it's up in the air from there. Which really isn't that good. Anyway, we are usually home around 3 or so, and then she goes down for another hour to hour and a half again. :)

Then yesterday, Rayanne decided to start playing with me. This is how it went. :)

Rayanne: looks at mom, spits out soother, smiles.

Mom: picks up soother, puts it back in.

Rayanne: looks at mom, spits out soother, smiles.

Mom: getting the hint, puts soother away, I guess she doesn't want it.

Rayanne: puts on her pouty face, and starts to fuss like she is going to cry.

Mom: takes out the soother again, and gives it to Rayanne.

Rayanne: looks at mom, spits out soother, smiles.

LOL!! It was the cutest thing.

Anyway, that is my update on my little girl. Thanks for listening.

My first post as a mom!

Ok for starters...I'm not sure why that picture is so big at the beginning of the blog. I am not totally computer literate...so I'm still trying to figure this out.

I have decided that I need to start a motherhood blog. Why??!! Because I feel like sometimes people get tired of hearing me talk about Rayanne, and that's all I want to do is talk about my baby girl. :) It was a very tough time getting her into this world...and I just appreciate every minute that I have her. :)

She will be 10 weeks tomorrow...what is she doing so far?? She is so alert! She has started making some noises besides grunts. She recently discovered her tongue so she sticks it out a lot...silly girl. She has started to smile, and has laughed in her sleep a couple of times...I can tell that she wants to do it when she's awake too, but just hasn't quite figured it out yet. :)

Anyway, that's it for my first post...I hope you all are doing well...I haven't checked your blogs in a while. Now that Rayanne has started getting into more of a schedule, it is easier for me to get on the computer and do things. :)
