I like the person I am today

Have you ever seen anyone more precious that that little face and her cute little mouth?  That is her sleeping on me.  It's been a rough couple of weeks for me.  All the sleep deprivation is catching up to me but one look at this cute little face and I melt.  I can't believe she's almost 3 months old.  She rolled over for the first time on Sunday!!

So I had an epiphany on Sunday that I told Paul.  I realized that as hard as this has been on me I would never want to go back to the person I was.  How cool is that?  In 3 months I have become much more of a person and discovered so many more strengths in my character that I didn't know were there.  I love holding and nuturing Lizzie.  And my relationship with Paul is so great.  He and I just laugh things off so much and just cling to each other for help.  Nice to know. 

Well, in other news Lizzie is now loving sucking on her hands.  She'll stick the hold thing in her mouth, fingers first.  So funny!  And Paul is so good at playing with her.  Check out this cool cause and effect thing he taught her.  She is pulling on the rings to make the music play.  We were so excited!!

We are very proud to have such a smart baby.  She is so incredibly alert and just drinks everything in and it's such a delight to come get her out of her crib because she just coos in delight.  So exciting!! 

In other news, my poor uncle Carlos is in a coma.  He woke up with vertigo on Saturday and blood rushed to his brain and now he is in the hospital.  His son Carl has flown in from England to be with him and it looks like if he lived he would be a vegetable.  It's sooo sad!  Our whole family is praying for him.  I was telling Paul how amazing it is that his kids Nina and Carl both had the chance to talk with their dad three weeks ago.  I am so glad they had that opportunity.  My mom and I are praying for a miracle.  For another year for him.
