Sofia's 1 month was yesterday and every new moment I have had with her has been my favorite. Given yesterday is a milestone I would like to share the one that stands out above any else. Sofia has a problem of getting up at 4:30 - 5am to feed and not wanting to settle back down. This is great for daddy because I can start my day with having my daughter, alone, for the waking hours of the day. Saturday morning, same thing, after a feeding Daddy's turn. Our typical routine is to go into the nursery and sway, bounce, and sing to her all while patting her back. This will go on for a good hour. The key here is trying to get her to have some movement in her belly and to avoid the hiccups. If she gets really fussy we will pace the hallway until she can get comfortable on my chest. Saturday, nothing was working. After about an hour she was still squirming so we did some Tummy Time in our spare bedroom. Since it was Saturday I had all morning, which was great, but I unfortunately was very tired. At about 2 hours awake, Sofia was fading so I laid on the couch, put on some Christian music, and slowly drifted to sleep. This was kind of frightening because I wanted to be sure to position myself as to not harm her. What resulted was what was basically a hug that I will remember for ever. Thanks Sofia for one month. Thank you Michelle for being an amazing mother to her and for God for making it all possible.
