April 26, 2008 One Month Gone

this girl just left our house. we had leah come and take some photos of quincy and a few of the 3 of us. quincy is 4 weeks old. one month already. i can't believe it. i know she is still so little but it's crazy how fast this month has passed. i have to admit something. the other day i told sean that i thought i would love the newborn stage more. i have always loved newborn babies. so cuddly, sweet, sleepy, soft skin, and i love the way they smell. the first couple weeks i was loving how tiny she was. then last week (when talking to sean) i said i kind of wanted her to get bigger. to be able to smile and laugh and play with us. i completely take it back! and actually feel bad for feeling and saying it. looking at her today in her adorable cream outfit grandma T gave her and a tiny soft pink flower in her hair, i can't believe i would wish this time away! i was looking through the pictures on my phone yesterday while quincy was napping. i saw the picture i took of her in her carseat the day we brought her home. she has already changed so much and grown. it made me so sad, which surprised me. she has been so fun and a good baby. sean and i are so blessed to have her, we are so in love with everything about this little girl. i found this article written by anna quindlen, an author and columnist in oprah magazine. i really liked it and in fact, am i remembering wrong, or was it quoted in a conference talk? it's a great reminder to enjoy your children when they are little, well every stage actually. anyway, i know i am probably being overly emotional. quincy is only one month old! but i just can already see that time is passing so quickly. 
                                 
we have like 12 binkies. this and one that says "sweet pea" on it are her favs. we kept having to take this binky out for pictures, but keep it close and quickly put it in when she got fussy. she wants her binky!!
