We are Officially Having Fun

People say the first 3 to 4 months are the hardest when you have a baby. I don't know about hard, but I do know the level of fun you are having is decreased from your pre-baby state. It's hard the first 2 weeks and then it is just monotonous trying to keep your baby happy through eating, sleeping, walking and bathing. That is all you do.

We have really turned a corner in the last two weeks. Georgia's waking time is way more fun than it has ever been. She interacts, talks, and is even on the verge of laughing, mostly when I play patty cake with her feet. She really knows who I am and really knows who Matt is and even flirts with him like they are special friends. I am her momma but he is this wild and crazy guy who she tries her hardest to steal laughs from.

The other thing I wanted to mention, and hope I always remember, is that she has more gas than anyone I've ever met. Either that or she is just uninhibited so you always know when she it tooting. In the mornings when she wakes up and stretches real big and toots so loud it sounds like someone letting the air out of a balloon. And occasionally if I am real lucky she will poop her pants at a ferocious speed so loud that it wakes me up. I just let her go back to sleep with a diaper full of poop usually. I am scared if I change it she will wake up for good and it is usually too early for that.
