Dear Emilia,
We all woke up a bit earlier this morning, and while your mom was getting dressed, I got to hold you and watch you for some uninterrupted daddy-time. Your eyes were wide open at first, and you were looking around the room. The sun was streaming in through the window, and you seemed to be alternatively very interested in the light, and sort of bothered by it. I can imagine that your eyes are still adjusting to all of this light, and it’s pretty hard to see anything. At one point, though, you stared straight into my eyes for nearly a minute. I smiled and laughed since even though I know I probably just look like a big blur, you seemed to be checking me out.
We moved downstairs, and then you gave me a few little smiles. Luckily I was able to catch one on the camera.
Then, just a little bit ago, we had a home visit from an RN. She came by to weigh you on the scale, check on your skin, see how much you’re eating and growing. She said that everything was looking great!
Since she left, you’ve been hanging out in your chair, which, as it turns out, is a vibrating chair. You absolutely love it. As soon as your mom turned it on, you relaxed and went right to sleep. It may be your new favorite chair.
Love,
Dad
