our growing little bundle


... is now 7lbs. and looks different everyday. it must be all the milk we're feeding her! ack but the doctor says she's not gaining enough weight!

the first thing everyone notices here is her full head of hair - mostly becuase beside caucasian babies that are born bald, amori's head stands out! our building manager even said "wow, my daughter is 3 months old and she doesn't have half your daughter's hair!". LOL.

we both survived this week with each other at home. aldo has since gone back to work so all day it's a cycle of feeding, burping, changing diapers, rocking & swaying, sleeping, peeing, and pooing. i have already mastered the art of eating lunch with one hand and doing bits and pieces of light house chores whenever she's down for a nap (which isn't quite often - crying spells are much longer i think!). it feels like it's been a looong week and i can't wait for the weekend!

but it's all good... we're coping and learning. after all, when amori looks at me with her big chinita eyes, i and reminded and humbled by what all the hard work is for.
