four.

noa magnolia is four months old today.





and in month four of sweet baby noa bliss i have experienced...

FOUR plus one attempts at a four month photo where noa is both still and looking at the camera. ga.
FOUR trips to the doctor. two expected. two for ear infections. worst.
FOUR loads of laundry, at least, every saturday.
FOUR ounces of milky milk per feeding (when the baby is hungry)
FOUR hours of straight sleep. oop wait. no no no. i'm still waiting for that.
FOUR months of constant learning.
FOUR rolls on each baby girl arm, starting with the dreaded arm pit buldge, why is it so cute on her and not me?
FOUR meals a day, at least. i am always starvin marvin
FOUR antibotics purchased for one baby or the other.
FOUR days at work before i needed at sick day. worst record in history probably.
FOUR people who stood up there in complete adoration as sweet noa was baptised.
FOUR months waiting before seeing that perfect baby toss herself over and roll from front to back.
FOUR million times i could watch her do her new "blow kisses" trick, and still want more...
FOUR new tops i purchased. in size M. boo-ya.
FOUR months, that i cannot for the life of me figure out, mangaged to just fly by...
FOUR gazillion dollars i would pay to be able to bottle and save that perfect warm baby scent that lingers on me after rocking her all night. best.

you are my sweetest dream baby noa. you are complicated in all the best ways and i feel so blessed that i have you to teach me how in love in a way i never even knew existed. you have changed me into a better, softer momma and nothing makes me happier than daydreaming about all of our fun to come.

xo.
momma loves you.
