It's been a long time. Heavens, our beautiful baby girl is closing in on seven months! She's everything we hoped she'd be, and so many things we could never have expected.
The neighbor dude used to chuckle and tell me I wouldn't be able to wait to get home after work...just to see our sweetheart. The sweaty man holding a garden rake, resting his free hand upon his beer belly was absolutely right. He'd been through the four births of his children, and had plenty of stories to share with me prior to ELK entering our world. Looking back on that, I'm glad I took the time to turn off the lawnmower and pick his brain a bit about what to expect.
I love that she has my eyes. Well, not the cruddy, blood-shot and red-rimmed part of my eyes...the beautiful clear blue. Her cousin has electric blue eyes that will put you in a trance, but hers are more subdued, begging you to look closer to see what else they'll tell you.
My brother was right, baby farts are one of life's sacred pleasures. I can't wait to teach her to laugh at those!
