Milestones

Samaya now sits in her bumbo for extended amounts of time, bats and CATCHES her toys above her head in her 'university' (sometimes one in each hand), sticks her finger in her nose (though we think this is when she overshoots her mouth), smiles every single time we look at her, sometimes falls asleep in my arms after about 2 seconds of being tired, and takes pretty fantastic naps. Lately

I've been getting better at noticing as soon as she gets tired and if I act promptly she usually falls right asleep. This particular development feels like eating endless lindt chocolate balls. There is nothing like your child falling asleep without something in her mouth. (There is also nothing like your child falling asleep while nursing.)

I have also realized the absolute motherly need to document all the baby milestones. It doesn't matter how mundane they may seem to everyone else, the sheer delight when your child first reaches for an object or sits up...well its just beyond description. I think we all think our children are exceptional too. And they are. All of them. Especially mine.
