All by ourselves

Amy’s mom, Nancy, left this morning and for the first time we are all by ourselves with Gia. Nancy’s departure has been very bitter sweet. We are really going to miss everything she did for us and her presence, and at the same time it feels so nice to be alone with our new little family. Everything feels more intimate, and spacious. Today, we took lots of naps together, and Amy and Drew had a sweet candle light dinner while Gia slept in her bassinet by the table.

It is amazing how much Gia is already changing. Her face looks different almost everyday, her hands have grown, her fingers are less delicate and she is definitely taller. She is more interactive and makes much longer eye contact. Drew had a very sweet moment with her this morning when she just stared at him with loving eyes for several minutes. He just loved it! Amy’s favorite thing is to kiss Gia on the lips when she is rooting. Gia responds by kissing Amy back (kind of :) ).

Feeling lots of love and sending lots of love back!
