It's hard to believe that while I was pregnant, that a week seemed like an entire month and now, an entire month goes by and I feel like it was just last week. Elizabeth is growing up fast right before our eyes. I can remember in the weeks after she was born that I was waiting for her to smile and waiting, and waiting and waiting. At one point, I thought, okay, she's never going to smile and now there's not a day that goes by where I don't see my sweet girls smile and her different range of smiles for the people she knows and sees throughout the day. During one of the first nights in her crib, I heard her crying over the baby monitor and mustered up the energy to get out of bed and go to her. After all, we wanted to move her to the crib but that also means that I can't just try to calm her without getting out of bed. Nope, now I have to get out of bed and go down the hallway and open her door before I can do anything. After closing her door and peering over the side of her crib, she stops crying and suddenly beams up at me. I think that makes it all worth it.
