Shedding Tears

Hello Baby Aivey,

Another big day of firsts at just 18 days big!!

Last night Daddy noticed that your eyes were very watery and it got us thinking that you're going to start crying any day now and today was that day... we saw your very first tears... boo-hoo! I even caught one on a q-tip to save. Not that anyone, including you, would ever know but it's just a reminder for me of your firsts. Daddy brought me the q-tip and I swabbed the tear from the corner of your right eye during TJ time while we were in the glider chair.

I don't like to see you cry... it makes me so emotional. I wish you didn't like to cry either but so far that is not the case. You had a few fussy times today where those tears were shedding. Oh, my lil heart.

Today you also went on your first outing to eat with Daddy, Uncle Jon, Alyssa and me. We went to Bill's Cafe for a late breakfast (there's no early with you... it takes forever to get out of the house with only you, add 4 people taking showers... oy!). For the most part it went well. You didn't sleep on the way there which was strange and then you wanted to eat while we waited for our table so I went to the car with you and fed you for a bit. But then later on, just about the time my food came of course, lol, you wanted to eat some more and after Mommy chowed down while Daddy held you for a bit, I had to bust out the TJ in public for the first time. Except for a quick nip slip at the end, I must say it went pretty well. Glad I'm over that!

You are really such a good lil baby. You just have your moments. If you weren't mine and so cute, your moments would bother me much much more than me just feeling helpless but I'm enjoying every minute and getting used to your likes and dislikes so we can maintain good lil baby status for as long as possible.

I'm looking forward to more of your firsts and just figuring out this whole Mommy Baby thing as we go along. Must say, this is the best adventure of my life! I love you sweet'ums!

XOXO
Mommy
