Reasons My Baby Girl Is Awesome

WARNING: This is a pretty braggy post.  These that follow are in no particular order.

10.  She sleeps through the night and started doing it on her own.  No training.  Awesome.

9.  She is utterly adorable.  I mean, look at this pic from church this morning. Could she be any cuter?

8.  When she's tired, just swaddle her up or hold her tight, and poof!  She's asleep.  It's really like magic.

7.  She eats like a champ.  Never once have we had to work to get her to take a full feeding!

6.  She has started to smile and coo.  And wave her arms.

5.  You can stick her anywhere - her swing, her playmat, a bouncy chair (with or without the vibrations turned on), and even the exersaucer, which we got out over the weekend, and she's happy.

4.  She is getting fat.

3.  She likes to take baths!

2.  Now that she's getting a little older (almost 5 months!), she has really begun to notice her surroundings.  She's watching me, Daddy, or Brother all the time!

1.  She loves to be held, which is very convenient, as I love to hold her. :)

She is wonderful, and such a gift.  I seriously can't find a single thing to complain about.  Is that normal?  She did poop all over her outfit the other day, but she was so happy and cute about it that I didn't even mind that! Today was her first day "out."  She went to church for the first time, and it was so nice to show her off!  Everyone ooed and ahhed over her, and the nursery ladies had a verbal fight over who got to hold her first.  Then we went to Grandma and Papa's for lunch and to see some friends in Lawrence for dinner.  It was a big day, and she did great.

I am treasuring these moments I have with her, because I know that in the blink of an eye, just like her brother, she'll be crawling all over the place, then walking, then running, then walking, then running, then biking, and then driving.  Time seems to speed up when it comes to kids, and I want to savor these moments as much as I possibly can.
