My baby girl is getting so big! Her 6 week old cousin came round this morning and Daisy seemed so grown up in comparison - sitting up well (with support of course!), holding her head up and giggling. She's such a happy little soul, she has smiles for everyone. I love it when her gaze locks onto me and then she breaks into the most beautiful grin, as though looking at me has made her day. She is so beautiful...have I said that before?!? Her brown eyes are just incredible and everyone comments on how pretty she is.

More things I love...

* how her little hand grasps my top when she's breastfeeding, as though she's clinging on

* the sound of her husky little laugh, coupled with big, bright eyes and a huge gummy grin

* kissing her soft, chubby cheeks

* that she sucks her thumb just like her big brother did

* her wispy red-brown hair, which sticks up on the top of her head

Things I love...

* the way she looks up at me when she's breastfeeding, with a look of pure contentment

* how she smiles in her sleep

* that she saves her biggest smiles for her brother

* her beautiful long eyelashes

* the smell of her hair when she's just got out of the bath

She's adorable, so beautiful and I'm so proud of her. I try to hold onto every moment but it's like trying to catch water...impossible - it just slips through your fingers and is gone. I know she's changing so quickly and I'm forgetting how she was when she was first born. It makes me sad, but at the same time I love seeing her developing and able to do things she couldn't yesterday.
