Okay, nothing like a naked babies tush to brighten your day! Caroline loves sitting in her bumbo seat and playing w/ toys while Jason and I either are cooking, or doing dishes or something like that...she is quite the observer.
It has been hard this week. Caroline who is generally filled w/ great joy, has been how shall we say, distressed this week. She loves being out of the house especially this week...naps have become hard where they used to be easy. But then Jason and I are so thankful that she is a great sleeper at night (8-7am), that her not sleeping as much during the day is alright. I think sometimes I don't know what to do w/ an infant. Is she cool w/ looking at the same old toys that she just looked at an hour ago? She is rolling over front to back and back to front now. She still loves the pool and we are there most afternoons around 4:15ish to 5:15ish...this helps that last push of the day that she tends to be a bit more fussy.
I think I am a bit more emotional this week than in the past...hard to know if that is postpartum, or a reflection of Caroline's dispostion...again I am reminded that I do not want my joy dictated by my circumstances. O Lord, help me to remember my joy lies complete in You! I don't want our future days together as mother and daughter for one of us to determine the other's mood. Caroline needs to know that too...that she doesn't have to have her mood changed by her mom's "fussiness"...ahhh the lessons the Lord chooses to teach me through my little one.
Caroline will be 5 months old this Friday. How is that possible?
Enjoy the pics, I know we do
