4 months

Today is Delilah's 4 month birthday. Crazy to think that she should only technically be 2 months three weeks. Amazed at how well she is doing, how she is not only surviving, but thriving. I am feeling very blessed that she is the baby she is. She is funny, snugly, calm, smiley, giggly and most of all lovable. I put her in her crib tonight, this is the first night, so far it has been 23 minutes, but hey who's counting? I thinking I am having a harder time than she ( well obviously since she is asleep!). It is even harder since Daniel is away on business. I am in a big bed, which suddenly became even bigger! I am not sure how this will play out tonight. I have a feeling I may need her in my bed. Funny to fight with myself over something I so desperately want, a child who sleeps well in her own bed. Anyway, we hopefully will finally start using her room for more than a diaper change!

As I reflect on the last four months I am overwhelmed by how many things have happened. Most very positive. Delilah has grown so much, and seems to be mostly happy, except for those silly teeth that are bugging her. We are going to the doctor tomorrow for her 4 month physical and for the first time I am not fearful, nor do I have something other than normal baby behavior to report ( or at least I think). I cannot believe at just how fast this is going, many parents have said to me that it goes incredibly fast, they were not joking.

Delilah has taught me more about what life really means than anything ever before. She has taught me to go and get what ever I want, to strive to be the best at what ever I do. She has also taught me how to be humble, and how to stand up for what I believe, and mostly she has taught me a kind of love I knew not existed. Happy 4 month birthday little girl....
