THE STARE DOWN









No matter where I go in the house lately, Sofia has been interested.

Her little eyes follow me around, tracking the camera and watching my every step.

The hardest thing has been when she watches me leave for work in the morning, I always turn around to see if she watches me walk out of the door (she does!) I learned my lesson!  I just have to walk right out, because those little tiny stare-downs absolutely break my heart.

Today we're home together, and I'm happy.

We've been listening to holiday music and getting into the Christmas spirit.  :)
I've been in the mood to decorate the apartment, make sugar cookies and light the fireplace that I don't have. Haha.  I cannot get over how much this little girl loves getting her picture taken!  All I have to do is hold up the camera and she starts cracking up.  She doesn't have a shy bone in her body.  Yet.

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
