Willow is growing by leaps and bounds now. She eats constantly. Seriously. Beth and I are both pretty tired- but Beth more than I. She's doing most of the work. But we can honestly both say that Willow is well worth it. She smiled at me today. It may not have been intentional, but it still felt pretty good. Its incredible how quickly traces of a personality emerge. We already know that she is a slow-poke like both her parents (as evidenced by her eating habits). We also know that she is a cuddler- not all babies are, you know. She is sensitive and reactive (the startle reflex is on hyper drive). She prefers the outdoors to the indoors. And when all of her needs are met, she is very content. And we learned all of this before her 4 week birthday. Beth wanted me to add that she has already experienced a growth spurt, which made Beth feel like a milk machine. I am going to post some more recent pictures.
