Today marks your sixth week with us. I can't believe how much you have changed - every day something a little different or a new fascination. I love that you are intrigued with the mini-blinds, the little bedside lamp on the bed and invisible things on the wall. You seem to self entertain more and are curious about what is around you, which is wonderful to watch and is also giving us more time to multi-task.
You also enjoy sitting up and working on holding your head up. I am amazed at how strong you are at such a young age. Of course, our hands are right there to catch you when you get tired. You are even baring weight on your little legs and we can see you muscles working.
Right now you are sleeping in a little wad next to me on the bed. I love watching you sleep. I love watching you cry, but I love watching you sleep more for obvious reasons. You are so peaceful, the weight of the world has not yet jaded you. Don't let it. Life has its ups and downs, its rough times and great times. Remember it is a rollercoaster and with every down, there will be an up. Don't let those downs keep you down so you never recognize the ups, because there are so many more ups.
This has been a baby week! Two little girls have been born to two of my friends. I hope that you will all meet some day and have a play date. I can't wait to see you interact with other children, but I know that is a little bit down the road, probably after you have gained control of your arms and legs.
Hadley, I love you so much! You make me smile constantly (even when your daddy thinks I'm angry because of my scowl).
Much love,
Mom
