I look at pictures like this and have to remind myself that it's ME that's holding that cute baby! It's been 5 months now and we're still getting used to the idea that we're parents. :) She's been really fun though. We're lucky that's she's not colicky and has been such a happy baby. I keep telling myself that it's got to be a farse...trying to make us believe that all babies are sweet, gentle, cuddly and quiet. She's just starting to find her voice, so we'll see how cuddly and quiet she is in a few months.I had to take my first business trip this past week since she's been born. I think both Travis & I were a little nervous since he had to do everything from feedings, getting her dressed and out the door in the morning, bedtime...the whole nine yards. I got the best report when I got home and it was something like, "You know, I don't remember her crying while you were gone." *sigh* The best part about my trip were the photos that were sent to my cell phone of Mia hanging out on the couch with Dad. What did our parents do without cell phones, texting, digital cameras??! Polaroids just don't do it for me!
Well, if you're familiar with the date, yesterday was my dad's 9 year anniversary for his accident [1/19/99]. I miss him terribly and wish he could be here to see and play with his baby girl. One thing is for sure, she smiles a lot like my dad. That's a special gift that he gave to both of us.
