In August we celebrated the birth of our daughter, Irene. Induced after five days past her due date, fluids were low, so I took the doctors advice and headed to the hospital to have this beauty. I tried to be tough and go the no drug route, however, decided after a few hours of labor on Pitocin to go ahead and get an epidural. Better luck next time. I wasn't set or adamant about having it go either way, I figured I'd do what felt best at the time.
Here is my sweetie pie the day after her birth. She was a very alert newborn.
Looking back at these photos, seeing how much she has grown in half of a year makes me a little misty-eyed. The things she has learned how to do, so quickly, amaze me.
She (usually) is a very happy little girl.
My 90+ percentile child has been quick to learn her baby skills.
Until about last week or so, she would ONLY nap on someone (spoiled much?)
I didn't mind the snuggle time what-so-ever.
Yeah, house work didn't get done.
I kept telling myself, she'll only be this little once. Enjoy it.
Before she hit 5 months she was crawling. Before 6 she was creeping fast!!
We learned to sit up and now she is on the move big time!
In the past few weeks she has been pulling to stand. Nothing is safe!! We have definitely had to make adjustments and "baby proof."
Being a mother is more than I could have ever dreamed. The joy I feel when I see her succeed and try something new. The kisses. The snuggles.
It definitely hasn't been easy. Especially now that she is so adventurous. We can't stop all the falls. There will be bruises.
My beautiful daughter. I look forward to watching you grow every day.
