Sundries

• Josephina weighs almost 10 lbs now! She has quite the healthy appetite. My boobs can attest to that.
  
• She could hold her head and chest up at 2 weeks old. She's rolled herself over accidentally and can almost do it purposefully. When she's on her stomach, she tries to crawl. Not to brag but...pretty sure she's a genius.
• I feel so happy when someone asks if I'm breastfeeding and I get to answer yes. It may sound silly, but exclusively breastfeeding is one of my proudest accomplishments in life. It's been a really rocky road and it still isn't easy, but I'm doing it, and my baby is growing healthy and strong on my milk, and that's the best feeling ever.
• She already prefers her dad to me and it honestly kind of hurts my feelings. :(
• When she hears my voice her eyes get really wide and she looks up at the ceiling like she's hearing the voice of God. I'm thinking that her believing I'm God is a good thing.
• The girl loves attention. The other day Tim was holding her and admiring her and then he turned to his computer for a moment and she started screaming. When he looked back, she instantly calmed down and made her "I'm so cute" face. We're in for it.
• She has baby acne. It's harmless, common and temporary, but it makes me sad to see it on her beautiful face. She's still adorable, though. Our little pizzaface.
• Everyone says that nothing is gross when it's your baby. I'd have to disagree. She is cute; her projectile diarrhea is not.
  
• If anybody has any ideas for really fast and easy dinners, please share them! Grilled cheese and salad every night is getting really old.
  
• I've realized that when you have a baby, everything time you decide to do something, you decide not to do 100 other important things in its place. Sometimes I can either go to the bathroom or get a glass of water or brush my teeth; I can only do one so I have to choose carefully. Needless to say, posts here are probably going to be infrequent for that reason, but I'll keep trying to update when I can.
• Tim keeps coming up with rules for her. So far she's not allowed to be a Yankees fan, join the military, or ride in cars with boys as a passenger (she has to drive). He also mentioned something about a chastity belt. Poor kid.
• I'm horribly late on sending out Thank You cards. We've received so many incredible gifts, gifts with huge amounts of love and thought and time put into them; we've been blown away. If I haven't thanked you yet, I haven't forgotten, I swear!
• Tomorrow Jo is meeting my mom and Rick, her grandparents, for the first time! I hope her cuteness doesn't make their heads explode.
