fourteen. weeks. old.

the bird is a doll. i've enjoyed having a baby so much this time around, not that i didn't when my older kiddos were infants, but this time i feel like i'm such a better mother. i am so much more patient and relaxed. maybe it's because i'm ten years older, i'm not sure. i think when i was 21 i was still finding myself and struggled with the being a young mother vs. being the young free spirited and 'of legal drinking age' girl that all of my friends were. it was hard for me and i think it really did influence the kind of mom that i was. i think i've always been a pretty good mom, but i know that i am a better mom as the years go by. as i learn from my mistakes. as i experience more. i am proud of the mom that i've become.

this little birdie is still just the happiest baby i have ever met. she is always smiling and i feel like she has the best little sense of humor. she laughs and giggles at everything. she's still grabbing and starting to really chew on her toys. yay! those little teeth are still trying to make their way through but she manages to stay in high spirits for the most part. she's also a little rollie pollie. she learned how to roll from her back onto her tummy a few days ago and now that's her favorite thing to do. she loves it.
