oh, and in that picture she is wearing a GroBaby cloth diaper. she finally fits into them. i had tried weeks ago and the poop slid right out the leg hole. but i tried again this past weekend and they fit like a glove. we went all cloth as of Saturday and we are super happy. admittedly, i was scared to start because it does seem overwehelming. but it's actually super easier. possibly easier than the disposable?! they're super comfy on her, better for the environment, waaaaay cheaper, and cute as hell. here is another style.
Harlow has become a smiling fool. and there is nothing better in the world than baby smiles. she is so responsive and alert and funny. she has started to "talk" back to us too. it's just the sweetest thing. she is testing things in her mouth now and trying really hard to make her hands work rather than just flailing around. she loves to look at toys and out the windows. she also loves to go on walks. here she is testing her daddy's finger with her mouth.
i have to go back to work in July. the more i think about it, the more sad i get. i never thought that i would want to be a stay at home mom...but now that i think about going back, it breaks my heart. can't we be like other countries and have a year off for maternity leave? i feel like Harlow and i are just starting to get into a groove together. i know what she wants before she even knows she wants it. we have a schedule of great classes/groups/friends that we see every week. and we're working on learning about the world together. i hate to think that i will be back at work and losing touch with what she is doing/experiencing/learning each day. urgh, it just breaks my heart.
i few pictures of her 7th week on this earth...
