They Grow Up So Fast

Pictures follow, all pulled from here, but put into a fun sorta time lapse :)

How about side by side :P

It's so easy to fall in love

Looking at a little screaming baby as the nurses and staff are cleaning her up after delivery - as I've said here before - is a weird, surreal experience.

I can't speak for anyone but myself. While I certainly loved the baby that we met in the hospital, and then brought home with us, it's wild to keep falling in love.

I keep saying that she's "becoming a person", and I mean that we're seeing her personality. She laughs when we play with her, and it's AWESOME.

When a sequel to one of my favorite computer games came out recently, I figured I'd spend loads of time on it, but I found myself sitting there with Piper, playing games with her to make her laugh.

I find that I miss getting to interact with her in the morning if she's still asleep when I leave for work. So I love mornings like today, when she's awake, and we can get her to do that silly little laugh that she does.

*sigh*

How many peas in a pod?

We've been chatting lately about whether we want to have another child or not.

We'd both been operating with the plan that we'd have two. Now we're not so certain - we're wavering in the middle, looking at it from both angles.

For starters, one child costs less money than two. Honestly, since we're not exactly rolling in cash right now, this is a serious consideration.

On the other hand, Krissi and I both have siblings. Its what we're accustomed to, based on our own childhoods, and so its easy for it to be a default conclusion.

We don't have to make our decision right away, we've got time left before we'd even try to have another. But it seems like a tough decision.
