Bug-Eyed Baby!

This morning my daughter woke up for an early morning feeding, and she absolutely refused to go back to sleep! Mama wasn't ready to begin her day at 4am, but Kaylynn poked her cute little bug eyes at me, and illuminated the most beautiful grin! So, mama watch a country singing Elmo DVD with baby Kaylynn at 4am in the morning. After watching the DVD, mama wanted to go back to bed and catch some zzzzzzzzz before heading off to work, so mama put in an ocean wave cd that soothed Kaylynn to sleepytown. I highly recommend every mother to buy an ocean wave cd! The sounds of the ocean put Kaylynn to sleep in a matter of minutes!

Earlybird Gets The Worm

Early mornings are precious to my heart. Occasionally my four month old will get up in the wee hours of the morning for another feeding if she didn't eat well the day before. Today is one of those mornings. She woke me up with her babble and grunts. She rarely cries when she is hungry. She chooses a higher form of communication: grunting. She waits patiently for her bottle to heat up. (She will only drink breastmilk that I pump. She refuses to work for her breastmilk, and she dislikes formula.) While she is waiting for her bottle, I change her diaper. By the time I finish changing her diaper, she is ready for her feeding. Yes, early mornings are dear to my heart. Thank You Dear Lord for blessing me with a wonderful daughter. I am thankful for every precious moment that I can spend with her. She is truly a gift from above.
