that raised eyebrow!
and the chin
I am quite shocked by how quickly time has gone, and just how much she has grown already. A friend had a baby a couple of weeks ago, and it already seems eons ago since Malaikah was so tiny and precious. I miss those newborn days!
Malaikah continues to be a happy, sweet, easy going baby. Point in case: On Sunday we went to a little gathering to meet our friends' new baby. I woke her up from her nap, changed her diaper, bundled her up to head out in the snow, and then promptly handed her off to someone else 'for a minute' when we got to the gathering - and then forgot I'd done that. There was not a peep of protest or fuss. I bet we were there an hour before she cried. I fed her and she was happy again.
As you can see here, she has a serious stare-down. Sometimes she will look at Dexter like this, and no matter what he does, she will not crack a smile. Which is funny because she does have a wonderful smile.
thinking about a smile
That little smirk, plus the raised eyebrow, makes me think she's up to no good.
Here is some proof she smiles.
I could look at that toothless smile all day!
She also continues to be a great sleeper. It is 8 PM and she's already been asleep an hour and a half. I will feed her when I go to bed, and maybe she'll wake one more time. At this point, I know she *can* sleep the whole night through, but waking once seems like no big deal to me, and I don't mind it. They make me tired, but they are still sweet, precious, fleeting moments.
I'm not really sure what she is *supposed* to have done by 5 months since I've stopped looking at any of those things. She hasn't rolled over yet, but her doctor kind of helped her along with that at her appointment last month, and knows she can do it. Just a matter of time, I guess. I'm in no hurry for that as it means life gets harder.
This month, instead of getting pictures of her with Kyalo (who was at school) I got pictures with Dexter and with me. I don't have nearly enough with us, so it was time.
love
I think most days I still can't believe that she is here, and that I'm loving having a girl so much. Let's see what happens when she's older!
Now, who wants to come decorate our poor, bare walls?
