Before I had a baby, I always heard parents talk about how their favorite moments with their children were in the mornings. Babies usually wake up in good moods, and everyone would say what a joy it is to go peek over the side of the crib and see a smiling baby to start their days.
Well, we don’t have the smiles yet, but there is still something special about starting the mornings with Nora. She’ll usually fuss or make noises, and I’ll peek over the side of my bed and see her in her Rock ‘N’ Play, all wrapped up in her swaddle, ready to get the show on the road. She’s wide-eyed, she’s alert, and she’ll stare at me in a way that seems like she knows me–she recognizes me as her mama.
I’ll change her diaper and feed her, and we’ll hang out and enjoy her awake time while lounging in our pajamas.
But my favorite part of the mornings with Nora?
BABY STRETCHES. Hands down.

I'm Heather. I'm 33 and have been married to Michael for seven years. Together, we have two beautiful little girls we love more than anything, and a miniature dachshund who drives us crazy. I'm a full-time working mom who has very little time for my own "stuff" these days, like home improvement, cooking/baking, cake decorating, and photography. Despite the team not making the playoffs since 1999, I'm STILL a Buffalo Bills fan, which I think speaks to my loyalty AND sense of humor. I can't wait to pick up the pace with travel again some day... you know, when we're done being ruled by tiny fists. Welcome to my blog.

I love baby stretches! I also love the little noises they make while they are stretching. She is so cute.
My mom said that was her favorite thing to watch me do when I was a baby. I can’t wait until I can watch my little girl do that next month! That was just adorable!!! :) :)
I am so very happy for you and Michael! I’ve been following you blogs since Marc h 2008 when I first became engaged! You cannot imagine how much you have helped me! In fact I am getting married this weekend and am preparing to make the card box tonight (if I can find that lazy susan)! You now have 2 beautiful daughters, I wish you all nothing short of the very best! Thank you so much for sharing so much of your life and family with us! You inspire people each and every single day!
