Things I want to remember at 6 weeks:
How sometimes when you are upset by something, you let out a sad cry and then make the saddest frowning face - almost a caricature of a frown, like one of those drama masks. It makes me giggle.
How when you are sleeping unswaddled, you sometimes throw your hands up above your head. You stretch out slowly, and then go right back to sleeping.
How you look when you are swaddled. We call you our baby burrito - just an adorable face poking out of your tight blanket. My snugglebug.
How sometimes right after you eat, you get squirmy and fidgety and then all of the sudden quiet down and almost freeze into sleep. Like somebody flipped an off switch.
How you make grunty noises and baby elephant noises in your sleep. I'm ready for this phase to be over but I still want to remember that it existed. Last night, you made a noise that sounded exactly like laughter, a little chuckle. Somehow both your dad and I were awake enough to hear it and it was wonderful. I'm so excited for your smiles and your laughter.
How your dad will sing you to sleep with songs that we love (Book of Love, Such Great Heights, Apartment Story). He is amazing and so good with you.
Things are getting easier.
