Amazing little sounds

My wonderful husband takes care of our baby thru out the week while I am at work, today Leah was extra good and started coo'ing and he got it on video. I am so proud of my little girl!!



Edit: I wanted to add something that I wrote earlier on a Mom's forum. I noticed that I really am not like a lot of typical Moms. I work, Jason stays home. And yanno what, that is ok! We make it work. So I wrote out why I am a good mommy.

I am not the typical stay at home mom, nor do I have the typical baby so...here goes:

I am a great Mommy because I am 26 years old and I had a natural childbirth in my own home with out any drugs. She came out completly alert and peaceful. My now gyno tells me that people my age just do NOT do that now days, it impowered me all over again.

Altho the first month and a half of her life she spent screaming, I always knew when to take a breather to calm down so I can come back and help her. It was the most stressed I've ever been in my life...but it gets better every day.

I am a good mommy for figureing out that swaddling was the best thing ever invented for her!! We call it "burrito time" lol.

I am a good mommy because I realized it was ok to bottle feed. I could not produce breast milk and my baby was starving. We tried everything we could to get the boobs working, and it was ok to realize that it wasn't going to work.

I am a good mommy because I let whomever is holding her do what they think is right (unless I can tell it is something she hates) to let them bond with her. I am not over protective, I want her to love other people besides me and my DH.

I am a good mommy because even tho I work full time, I get up with daddy in the early morning feedings and change her diaper and make sure he has everything for the feeding and is comfortable.

I am a good mommy because we follow her schedule, which is usally pretty normal, but it allows us to understand her needs better.

I ask for help when I need it!

I have an easier time putting her down to bed at night, and she stays asleep longer. My DH is better at it in the morning.

Even tho Leah is my world, my husband is my universe and we respect the fact that grandparents are amazing baby sitters when we need some alone time.

When she has been screaming all day and I come home to an exhausted husband, I can take her in my arms and I can feel her finally relax and calm down and most times she falls asleep in my arms.

I am a great mommy because the sound of my voice some times makes her smile.

I am a great mommy because even tho I do not write down everything she does, I capture her thru pictures and video. I think each person should be allowed to do their own thing differently ;)

I am a great mommy because I do not compare myself to anyone else. I know what MY baby needs and I give her my all. I wasn't so sure the first month of her life of what the hell I'd gotten myself into, was scared ####, but with lots of patience and love...i've become a completly different woman, a better woman, since having my baby.
