Weekend Recap: Swings (and some thoughts on motherhood)
I remember being very emotional during my first 2 weeks as a mother. I desperately wanted to freeze time. I didn’t want Charlotte to grow up. I wanted her to stay as a newborn baby and bottle the amazing feelings of love I had for her. She was just so perfect and I was so happy. I thought life could not get better than during that newborn phase and so I didn’t want time to pass. Boy, was I wrong!
It gets better. And better and better. First you get the smiles. Is there anything more amazing than your 1 month old baby smiling at you? I didn’t think so. Again, I wanted to freeze time and not allow her to grow up. But then at two months old she became noticeably alert. And at four months old she was looking around her with interest. She also started giggling. And now? She’s big enough for swings. HOW MUCH FUN ARE SWINGS!
She is so much fun right now at 5 1/2 months old. And now I know with a certainty that it only gets better.
