The way her forehead wrinkles and her mouth straightens into a line when she's done eating
How loose her arms and legs are when she's sound asleep
The fact that Tom's favorite part about her changes all the time
The way she smiles at me while she's eating, even if it's not technically a real smile yet
How fast she falls asleep when she's moving (car seat, carrier, stroller, etc.)
When she stretches all the way out with her arms above her head
The fact that she looks like a little worm when she's swaddled
Her unbelievably soft skin and new baby scent
How soundly she sleeps curled into a tiny ball on my chest
The way Tom loves to hold and talk to her
These are just a few of the things that are so amazing about Lana. I hope I always remember just how special these first weeks were. Even the most sleepless night seems like not such a big deal in the light of day when she's curled up in my arms, with her arms folded under her chin, fast asleep.
