6 Weeks In Our Arms

I can't believe Mari has been in our arms for 6 weeks. Some days, it feels like this has how life has been forever, other days it feels like we have only been home for about a week! I had to finally sit down and figure out when I'm going back to work which was SOOO hard. I never wanted to figure it out before, but now I guess it's time to face reality once again.

Oh sweet Mari, we love you sooo much. We feel so blessed to have you in our family. You are a wonderful little girl. You are starting to smile at people and everytime you smile at Mommy, you make my heart melt. You are also starting to 'coo' which is so fun. You usually always fill dad in on what we did for the day when he gets home.

You are finally in your own crib! With everything being so busy and hectic lately, Daddy just never had time to set the crib up. The first night you slept in your crib you did amazing - and you still are. You don't necessarily like going down right away, but after a few minutes (or an hour) of going in your room every 10-15 minutes you FINALLY fall asleep. No worries though, because we just laugh at you and your somewhat stubborn side.

You are also FINALY letting us put you down for a while and being content. I think we spoiled you right away in New York because you liked to be held. Even if you were being held and were in a deep sleep, you would wake up about 10 minutes after being put down because you knew that no one was holding you.

I love every minute with you baby girl. I even love getting up in the middle of the night with you. Although I am exhausted, having you look at me makes every moment worth it. I can't believe you have been in our arms for 6 weeks already and we can't believe how much you have grown!!!
