Milestone Monday: 2 Weeks

Aw, time moves fast when you have a little one in your house. It moves even more quickly when you start paying attention to the little milestones that happen in a span of time. It’s been 2 weeks since Malia was born and I feel like so much time has sped by.

…and it’s only been 2 weeks.
But she’s taught me to cherish every little moment. I look for any growth, every smile and any glimpse of me or Mike in her features or her temperment. The last two weeks have been a joy, even if I am living in a sleepy haze.

But here are just some of the milestones from the last couple of weeks.

Her Umbilical cord fell off.. Did any of you save this? My mom wanted me too, but I didn’t. It kind of grosses me out.
Grasp my finger. Oh, I love how she holds onto my finger when she’s breastfeeding or even sleeping in my arms.
She sleeps on a decent, regular schedule. Oh what a joy this is! I know that it’s likely to change again but I love that I only have to wake up 2 times in the night. I can hang with that!
She sticks her tongue out at Daddy. Yes, he already teaches her bad habits. LOL! But she’s alert, wide-eyed and observing light and movement.
She smiles and laughs in her sleep. I can’t wait until I can make her smile and laugh as she interacts with us. But seeing it in her sleep is so much fun.
