Spoke with Angie on the phone the other day : ) She was driving the twins to school, Gracie and Lanie on board. I could hear Lanie starting to get fussy in the background at one point (she doesn’t like the car seat…) and MAN if I didn’t want to teleport…
Angie gave me a run down of their average day. I wanted to know how Lanie’s day now compares to her day at 2 months. She told me that in the morning, Lanie is super smiley and cooes a lot : ) The morning is her happiest time : ) In the evening she likes to be held. At 10:30, she has her last bottle and sleeps through the night.
So thankful to know the details of her daily routine, like when she has her naps, bottles, baths (those are in the evening : ))… I love hearing that she loves to be held, cuddled, that she smiles and cooes a ton …it is certainly hard when I think about how she is not smiling at me, cooing at me, cuddling with me….BUT at the same time I am truly happy for Angie–happy that she gets to experience all these things with her Lanie. She’s the luckiest person I know : ) I am so happy for Lanie, too, that she has such a loving momma. A momma who loves her as much as I do. A momma who told me the other day she would die for her. That’s pretty neat when you think about it–that she has TWO mothers who would give their lives for her.
I am so thankful to know when and where Lanie rises in the morning and lays her head to rest at night. I have had the privilege of feeding her, changing her, bathing her, watching her fall asleep in my lap…she’s smiled at me…even talked to me some : ) While I don’t get to experience these things every day, I’ve been able to experience them. I’ve been able to experience my daughter as a baby, and will continue to experience her in the months/years to come. For this, I am grateful with all my heart.
