Moments Like These Are Too Precious

It's moments like these that makes motherhood so enjoyable:
I had just finished giving Kaylynn her night time bottle, and I thought she was asleep for the night. But, Kaylynn had a different plan. Five minutes later, she awoke from a supposedly deep sleep into a bug-eyed baby girl. She wanted to stay up! So, I sat and rocked her and talked to her a bit. Then, she started to get fussy, so I handed her to my mother. Kaylynn was laughing and smiling and having a good ole time. Then she started to get fussy with my mother, so my mom passed her to me. Kaylynn appeared to be extremely tired, but her disposition changed from fussy to laughing histarchly! She is four months old and she was just laughing and giggling for no apparent reason. She was just so happy to be in her mommy's arms. It's moments like these that makes motherhood so joyous. There is nothing better than the laughter of child.....especially when it's your child! Thank-You God for my precious daughter, Kaylynn. I love her so much!

My Baby...The Grunting Machine!

My child is a grunting machine. I bet she could out grunt any other baby. She grunts when she is mad. She grunts when she is happy. She grunts when she poops. I even think she grunts when she pees. She grunts when she is tired. She grunts when she is happy. I can tell what she wants by the way she grunts. Thankfully she doesn't cry very often. I think she has substituted grunting for crying. I wander if grunting is a higher form of communication skills rather than crying. I wander if grunting babies have higher IQ's. In any case, I love my grunting baby.
