8 Weeks

My baby is 8 weeks old!  Leah is just so cute to me these days.  She is smiling at us and cooing, and just being the sweetest baby ever.  I keep trying to take mental pictures of Leah as she is sleeping in my arms but I know I will never be able to accurately remember every detail.  There are a couple blogs that I read on a regular basis and the mom's who write them all have kids who are about 3 or 4 years old.  I can't believe that soon, my Leah will be that big, and I just want her to slow down and stay this little forever. 

So, even though I live in a perpetual state of sleep deprivation, when I really stop and realize that my little Peanut is 8 weeks old already, I don't mind the 3 a.m. shift so much - I look at it as my special time with my baby, who is growing like a weed, but still loves to be cuddled and will sleep peacefully in my arms until morning.
