I no longer have a 5 lb baby. Where did my little babe go?!
Miss Scottie Yuki is 1 month old today. Little did Cam and I know she would be coming to us a month ago and yet, I can't imagine life without her. Isn't that what all parents say? I'm already THAT parent. But for reals though. It's all I've ever dreamt about. I remember on my wedding day, our sealer told us to look in the mirror and imagine our family. I knew I'd be bringing babies into this world to complete our family one day.
Scottie is an absolute doll and Cam and I have so much love for her. She's quite the easy babe (knock on wood) and doesn't cry much. When she TRIES to cry, Cam always jokes and tells her she's the worst at crying. It's more of a burst "ah" v. a strong cry. She loves to snuggle with dad while he multitasks--watching jazz games, playing on his computer, reading Twitter updates.
She's the quietest little sleeper when people hold her, and then at night time she's a little stink and makes funny noises. She loves to blow the air out of her mouth and because of her cute tongue, it makes a tootie noise :) Lately she's had a lot of gas--poor girl--so that keeps her up at night which keeps ME up at night. Naughty girl likes to party all night long. She lets me sleep in 2-3 hr increments. She's a nose breather (YES!) and hates to be swaddled too tight. Loves her little hands and always goes to them when she needs comfort.
When Scottie takes a binky, she makes a sour "what the heck are you putting in my mouth" face and then a few seconds later she takes it and loves it. Bath time is her jam. Arms and legs stretched out. She could sit in her whale tub for hours and usually pees right as she gets in. We've all done it. Maybe. Maybe not--just Scottie? Shoot.
Scottie is a strong little babe already. She held her head up the minute the nurses laid her on me during skin to skin and has been holding her head up since. She can now hold her head up when propped up on my shoulder for a couple seconds and then she gets tired.
Her eyes are a deep blue and we hope they stay that way! That's all I ever wanted is for my sweet babe to inherit her daddy's amazing eyes.
We love our Scottie girl.
Until next time,
KRR
