Type-A Baby

In just one week, you have:
laughed twice

hiccupped a million jillion times

encountered the Circumstrator and survived with fewer tears than your mama

smiled innumerable times- from gas, hearing your dad's voice, having your fat cheeks tickled

peed on the pediatrician

peed on us

peed on your stuffed alligator

outgrown the smallest newborn diaper

gained 7 ounces- for a breastfeeder this makes you the baby who ate Manhattan

made me cry in fear and joy just looking at you

made me already wish for you to never grow, never change, stay right here with me, safe.

made me wish for you to grow strong and leap over your milestones and go out and find God right there with you.
