Olive is three weeks old today. It's pretty phenomenal how much she seems to be changing and growing all the time. A couple of days ago I was holding her in my lap so she was facing me, and she suddenly looked at me and really and truly focused on me for the first time. I know that she can distinguish me from other people because hey. I'm the one with the milk. But until that point her recognition has always been more physical, she knows my smell, my touch, my sounds, this was the first time she really focused on me with her eyes.
Other ways she is developing include spending more time awake. I should say more calm time awake. These are times where someone is holding her, and she just looks around and is content. She loves to be held, all the time; even when she is sleeping. Which can be difficult, I hadn't planned on her sleeping in bed with us; but then I think soon enough she will be in a crib in another roomand I will miss having her sleep on me all the time so I try to enjoy it. I spend lots of my time with her trying to cherish every moment, because I know she will change, and develop so quickly. I don't want to miss anything.
