It is 5am and Lucy is wide awake. As I look at her little silhouette in the darkness, it is amazing to me to realize how much she has grown and changed in such a short time. During her nighttime feedings just three short months ago, she used to slump over my hand when I would burp her, her little head rested in the palm of my hand. Now, she sits up so straight, with her “big ol’ head” looking all around at everything she can take in. It is crazy how fast life moves forward. Even though it is not quite the time I want to be awake with her, I love these moments: Lucy and I just hanging out together without any other distraction. (Well, maybe the cat that keeps trying to get our attention. 😄 ) So for now, even though it is the wee hours of the morning, I am going to soak in the joy of my baby girl enjoying the feel of the sheets as she scratches them with her fingers, and her playing with her toes under her blanket as she talks to them. It’s these little changes in the night that go by so fast.
