Virtual Baby Book
Sep. 5th, 2005 08:45 pmA few things to write in the babybook when I get home:
Sep 1, 05 - Ellie laughs for the first time. Extremely cute!
Sep 3, 05 - Ellie starts grabbing for stuff, like my plate while I am eating dinner. She is also making lots of oo and ahh sounds and will change her sound to mimic yours.
eta: I just finished going back and tagging all my Ellie entries. I just roll my eyes at myself those first few weeks of her life. I was trying so hard to sound organized, in control, on top of things. Reading my entries, it sounds like there was this grand plan to cope with a tiny baby. What a crock! I was hanging on by the skin of my teeth and felt like I was just seconds from drowning almost every night. Nights were the worst - it was *so* depressing to see everyone else head off to bed and know that I had a sleep-deprived night ahead of me. Those first 3-4 weeks were *so hard*. I think the turning point was when I finally started sleeping with her in the recliner and then letting her sleep with me in my bed.
