| 1/21/13- Bedtime Routine with her daddy |
Song- She loves
when I sing to her! It makes my heart smile. When I sing opera (for fun), she
just “giggles”.
Toy- It’s amazing
she loves toys now! Her favorite is her Elephant Toy. I named him “L.E”!
Non-toy toy- She
grabs for anything and everything now!
Time of day- she
is happiest when her daddy gets home at 7p! She’s alert and ready to hang out
with him.
TV show- Oh
my..she’s obsessed. We have to shield her mat with pillows since we hang out in
our living room.
Thing to giggle at-
Her daddy can make her “giggle” like no other person!

| Our beautiful baby 1/12/13 |
Firsts/Milestones:
- She went from swatting at things to now reaching and
grabbing with intention! We love it. It’s so cute.
- She is still rolling from side to side and tummy to back
more consistently.
- Her giggles are forming and we love it. She just squeals,
screams, babbles...
- Her “giggles” are beginning to become more apparent...they
are little squeals now!
Here is a good video of her on New Years Day with her dad- I
caught it too late but it can give you an idea!
- The separation anxiety has officially set in! She knows
who she knows and definitely knows whom she doesn’t! As long as she sees our
face, she usually is ok but sometimes that’s not enough!
- And unfortunately or fortunately...she has started
TEETHING. Drooling, rosy cheeks, grinding on her gums which makes her normal
babbling sound pretty interesting and cute, irritating stools, diaper rash
(ehh!), and screaming! Oh and let’s not forget to mention- she is super clingy
and a very very very bad sleeper now (at night). Mama is EXHAUSTED.

Learning about the human body in every aspect in school
wasn’t extremely exciting until we had clinicals....we were able to SEE and
TREAT conditions that we spent so much time in school studying. We were able to
witness the evidence of HEALING physically and emotionally. We also
(unfortunately) witnessed when the body couldn’t defend itself anymore but
managed to maintain quality of life for the patient.
All of those things were fascinating to me personally and
remarkable when incorporating a couple changes here and there could make a
world of a difference for the body naturally.
Now I am witnessing the human body in a completely different
light....a WAY MORE fascinating light actually. Babies are absolutely amazing.
Do you ever wonder (and probably get annoyed) why new parents can sit there and
talk about how their baby followed them with their eyes for the first time? Or
when their baby started crawling? Or even the “simplest” thing as reaching for
a toy right above their face?

| Look at how long our baby is!! |
That is when the body is really the most impressive. As a
new parent, I can’t help but be in awe of Estella. Not only how fast she has
recovered from colds she’s already experienced or how chubby she got so quickly
once we cleared up breastfeeding issues...but I am amazed at how all her little
neurons are making proper connections and her muscles of her whole body are
starting to coordinate (and strengthen) with her brain. It is quite amazing.
We as adults can spend months and even years learning a new
language or training to run a race, yet these little babies (who often go underappreciated
in terms of intelligence) learn and master a complete movement or action in
days...and continue to master more milestones so quickly before our eyes. It’s
really fascinating.
I am so fortunate that I get to witness every little thing
all day long and every day. Working from home has been such an amazing gift for
us...I am so use to being overworked that I am getting to the point of
overworking myself so my husband reminds me to slow down everyday so I keep my
sanity.
Ryan and I just celebrated five years of being together by
attending church then having a casual dinner with our baby love. We are so
blessed and realize that life as we know it will continue to only get
better..even with all the little rough patches we experience.

Happy four months to our little big love that has made our
lives the best they can ever be! Mama and daddy loves you so much Estella. You
are absolutely amazing.
