spilled milk

everyday with annabelle is such a learning experience. and i've learned how to become reeeeaaaalllll good at quick laundry. i never knew how much milk, spit up and poop could come from such a small human being. i love her, but geeeez.
the first couple of days home she was soooooooo fragile and innocent and not so messy ;) but here lately, it's grunting and pooping and spitting up everywhere. and it never fails, when i'm nursing her, she will always pull away at some point and blow milk everywhere because she has an air bubble. whether i'm feeding her in bed or on the couch, she manages to get milk everywhere... and it doesn't smell so good if it sits and sours...haha. so, i've gotten real good at washing my bed sheets, oh say every other day, and cleaning couch cushions on a daily basis and changing baby clothes every other hour it seems... haha. it's soooooooooooo cool learning these things i never knew anything about. i absolutely love her to death and wouldn't trade these little things for the world. she teaches me something new everyday.
she started smiling this past week and it has just melted my heart. she is so smart and so strong and amazes me everyday with something new. today she smiled and cooed at me. it was so special and i wouldn't trade being home with her for anything in the world!
the laundry loads may be huge and i may never ever get a break from them, but she is SOOOOOO worth it! i thank my God every single day for my little blessing!
