Elaina Lately . . .

So my little girl is almost 16 weeks old. The fact that 1/3 of her first year is almost complete is extremely shocking to me. While I feel like I have pretty much figured out her likes and dislikes at this point, I still know very little about her personality. She keeps a tight lip on things. If I were to deduce some personality characteristics from what I’ve seen thus far, I would say:

• She’s a girl who needs her sleep. She’s a good sleeper/napper but if she goes without, she gets VERY fussy!
• She seems fairly laid back; she never fusses when it comes to getting dressed or changing diapers. We’ve also dunked her in VERY cold water and she didn’t mind at all
• So far she seems reserved/shy. While she is somewhat chatty at home, she is rarely chatty with strangers. Though we’ve heard her laugh a couple of times, this is still a really rare occurrence. Hopefully we don’t have a little stoic on our hands! That wouldn’t bode well for her overly exuberant, expressive mama!
• She loves music and stories. I suppose this would be true of any baby, but I am hopeful that this means she shares my love for the written word and maybe possess my musicality? . . . we’ll have to wait and see on this one.
• She likes men! While she smiles with ease, she smiles almost instantly as soon as a guy gives her a little attention. Scott might have a run for his money on this one . . .

We love you Elaina bana booboo! You’re our sweet, sweet girl. Without question, you make our world brighter.
