noa magnolia is five months old.
and in month five of sweet baby noa bliss i have experienced...
FIVE minutes to myself can make a world of difference.
FIVE tiny fingers, on one chubby hand, feel like heaven when they reach out and grab me.
FIVE, or so, failed attempts at getting home girl to sleep through the night, which have led me to just throw in the towel and learn to love our 12am feedings, and our 2 am ones,...and our 6 am ones :-). ahhh.
FIVE years (almost) since i have had a newborn, and some how, i need to re-learn everything. ga!
FIVE months later, life sort of feels like its found its new normal.
FIVE days a week i am so so so lucky to be able to take noa to a babysitter who loves her in the most perfect way. a true blessing.
FIVE attempts at target to get noa to "sit" in the front of the cart like a big girl. and, boo-ya, we got it now!
FIVE pounds lighter than last month.
FIVE, plus 10.5, pounds is what sweet noa weighed in at for her check up.
FIVE tiny toes i am dying to paint hot pink.
ah noa, what a month. you seem so much older with your constant curiosity and awareness. i love who you are and wish i could freeze time right where we are. thank you for smiling so big when i talk to you, and always making me feel like your favorite. those big smiles are the best. ya know why? because they consume your whole little face, i can see the happiness deep in your eyes. i've never encountered such a beautiful gesture from anyone else in all my years.
it never goes unnoticed or unappreciated.
and sweet baby noa, i am completely in love with your great big squeals and sounds when you are lying next to my bed in your cradle. those little talks of ours, are the best conversations of my day. i hope we share stories like that forever.
you are the best daughter a momma could have.
xo.
momma loves you.
