My sister asked me to update her on some of the cute things Belen is doing lately... this was my update:
Belen does lots of cute things. Some of them are hard to explain in words, I will try to get them on video. One of the things I love is her stretches. She stretches after nursing and waking up. She arches her back and pouts out her lips, it's super cute. She stretches so much she actually has gotten ME stretching. It feels great! :) I love her smiles and her laughs probably the most. I will definitely get that on video.
Just now she did something really cute. I put her down in her crib because I could tell she was ready for a nap. I gave her her pacifier and, although her mouth was full of pacifier she proceeded to mumble, protest and basically scold me through it. I thought I could get her to calm down while still in the crib at first (I'm trying to teach her to go to sleep more on her own - yeah right, ha ha!), and her scolding me made me laugh all of the sudden. It was just so cute and so I scooped her up, buried my face in her neck and kissed it, letting a little chuckle out in the process. And to my surprise she started laughing too and her lips widened into a smile behind her pacifier. Then I started rocking her and she did some more protesting which made me laugh again and it made her laugh again too. A few minutes later she was asleep. It was so cute. It made our relationship seem for a moment less mom-daughter and more spirit to spirit enjoying this life we have here on earth... learning from each other.
She's my buddy, goes with me everywhere, it's great!
PS - another "cute" thing she's doing... sleeping from bedtime until 2:30 and sometimes longer!

There's actually a law that when or if a baby stretches and pouts out his/her lips, you have to kiss it. Humans can't help themselves- it's too adorable!
She sounds so fun and I can't wait to see her. We miss you guys and think of you all the time.
I know exactly what you mean about the stretch after she nurses. I love that!!
This was such a fun post to read. I'm glad you're enjoying motherhood so much.
Ooh, she sounds so fun. :) Wish I could see her! I LOVE the after-nursing satisfaction... Casey'd just pass out all the time, but she looked SO RELAXED I'd just sit there and soak it in. :)
Glad to hear that motherhood is taking to you so well! Big hugs across the country from me - !
What a great mom you are, and I can picture the laughing/sleeping/rocking moment. I wish I could be there in person, but we love you from afar.
