2 Months

My darling is 2 months today!

And she has grown. She's much studier now. Her arms and legs are filling out and her neck muscles are getting stronger.

It's time DaddyHam and I start her tummy time to further train her neck muscles. We have on occasions placed her on her tummy while lying on our chest. In the beginning, she could only lay wherever we placed her. Now, she can lift her head and even turn her head. Though sometimes she doesn't have the strength to see it through and her head would fall with a thump on our chest.

And because she is a little sturdier, I have started holding her arms and legs and waving them about. Sometimes we dance to nursery tunes like Old MacDonald's Farm, sometimes we go with something more retro like YMCA. We usually do this in the late afternoon, after her milk feed and diaper change. Because it is just Baby C and I, I treasure this special time very much. I can also sense that she is enjoying herself, she'll lay calmly on my lap, move along to the music with me and look into my eyes the entire time.

Besides the physical change in her, the attachment i feel towards her is increasing day by day. I feel waves of love for her crashing over me, especially when i am feeding or playing with her. Now i understand first hand the sense of protection that a mother would feel towards her young. Now i also understand why some mothers start to revolve their lives around their children, sometimes leaving their husbands out of the picture. I pray that as Hamie grows and demand more and more of my time that i'll remember not to neglect DaddyHam and make the effort to grow our relationship.
