I absolutely love the newborn baby stage of babyhood. It goes by far too quickly so I have been doing my best to enjoy every second of my daughter’s newborn stage. There are so many things about the newborn stage that I cannot appreciate enough.
I marvel at how tiny my newborn daughter is at this stage; her tiny hands and feet and her precious little face are truly delectable. I love it when she grasps my finger with her baby hand; her grip is fierce. I also love her newborn baby voice; she has such a darling cry. It is amazing that she quiets when she hears my voice and how she stops crying when she is near me (my husband will put her up to my face when I am cooking breakfast and she is instantly calmed). I love how her little legs are always pulled back because of her time in the womb and how she prefers to sleep with her legs tucked up too. I also adore how she kicks her legs when I change her newborn sized diapers.
I relish her rooting kisses and all her little hunger mannerism. I cannot get enough of her soft skin especially her little head and her smooth dark newborn hair. I cherish every moment of holding her. She is just as much a comfort to me as I am to her. I delight in how she snuggles on my chest to take little naps, while I try to put her down to sleep, I also enjoy holding her while she sleeps in contentment and peace. I love it when she looks into my eyes and I see recognition in her eyes and how she turns her head towards me when I talk to her.
On a more superficial level, I cannot get enough of her tiny little clothes. I especially fancy her in long sleeve onesies and little leggings: So cute! She is such a wonderful gift, truly a blessing!
