Three weeks

How is it that three weeks have come to pass already?  You're such a fantastic little baby, you have your moments, but you make things pretty easy for us.

Right now you have a bit of congestion.  It's heartbreaking to hear you struggle to breathe through you nose now and then, I think it's messing with your sleep.  I guess one thing I never considered was your brother bringing a bug home from daycare, though I don't know how I missed that because he was sick for the first two months of the year.  Oh well, it will pass.

You're so alert now, you were from the beginning, really.  You have more awake time, though.  Your brother loves you so much, I've finally started letting him hold you (with my help).  When I try to take you back he says "NO, MY BABY!"  He's going to be your best friend.

We are so happy you're here with us, you're daddy's little girl already.

We love you, Mischa.  Always have and always will.

Two weeks old!

Well, Mischa, today marks you two week birthday!  How has it already been two weeks?  You've accomplished so much, even the impossible which would be making your dad want another baby.  Who ever thought that was possible, ha ha!

You are such an amazing little girl, I couldn't possibly ask for anything more in a daughter.  How did we get so lucky?  Your big brother loves you so much, too, he won't stop giving you kisses or tickling your tummy.

You are exactly what we have been waiting for, and we love you.  Welcome to your new life.
