Normalcy

It will be 5 weeks tomorrow. "It" of course being when Shannon joined our family. Our lives have glimpses of normalcy these days, like more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep, taking showers, going out and about, and even exercising. Every day she becomes more expressive and her sleep patterns more regular. She is a content baby, checking the world out when I place her on her back for 30 minutes or so at a time. She will fall asleep in your arms and nap with you and it's rare that she fusses or cries, which only happens when she's hungry or needs to be changed. This is a huge change from the first two weeks of her life. Those were tough and we are glad that she is so content and happy.
