Week Two

Banks,

You’re two weeks old today! I am learning so much from you. I’ve been singing and waltzing around with you to the song “10 Minutes Ago” from Cinderella. It’s just so fitting. My favorite part is:

“Ten minutes ago, I met you, and we murmured our how do you dos. I wanted to ring out the bells and fling out my arms and sing out the news. I have found him, he’s an angel, with the dust of the stars in his eyes. We are dancing, we are flying, and he’s taking me back to the skies!”

Your eyes are becoming so magical. I love staring into them; it brings me to tears. I feel this weird connection to you, this intense understanding. I can tell you have so much to say and communicate with me. I sense your frustration with not being able to get through to me all of the time, but then I see you sigh and come to peace with where we are in our journey. I am becoming more peaceful each day that I spend with you. And I’m still working on letting you do things in your own time. I love and admire the pace that you do things. You do exactly what is right for you, and I’m trying my best to support that and not interfere… starting with that 53 hour labor. :)

This week was full of firsts!

You met your Grannylu and your Aunt Michelle. You snuggle and sleep with them as if they are me- I love that you feel so content and safe with them.
You had your first bath. I brought you in with me. You loved it. You spread your arms out to the either side like you were flying.
We went on our first walk as a family of four… We passed a house that had your name written out front. Your dad is my hero with his stroller knowledge.
We took you to see the bats on South Congress. You slept through it.
Your dad showed you football. You didn’t care about it, yet.
You tried “tummy time” and loved it. I thought you were going to start crawling, your legs are so strong.
You took a pacifier and loved that, too. Really helpful for late night diaper changes.

Last night you slept for 4.5 hours before I woke you up to eat. I am so thankful for your sleeping habits! Your dad and I are falling more in love with you each day. Love you, Banks!!!
