three months old. that bear is still towering over her, but she’s starting to at least notice it’s there.

last night i dreamed of the way her little back felt when i held her in the hospital. when i was changing her clothes this morning, i picked her up and could feel just how much she’s grown since then. so much bigger, so much more real and independent.

we still call her ‘smoosh’, though, because she’s such a smooshy soft little ball of a thing.
we still love carrying her around and snuggling.
we still love looking into her big brown eyes and asking her questions, wondering just where she’ll go and who she’ll be.
we still love making her laugh.
we still love the fact that she’s a baby, and she’s ours.
