8 Is The Magic Number

So apparently all those people I've met that said everything changes at 8 weeks weren't totally full of it. The last two days have been amazing with Callie! For really the first time, I've been able to totally enjoy my time with her. She is smiling and responding to things around her, to sounds I make, to the way I touch/tickle her. She seems to recognize me. It is really incredible. And for the first time since we left the hospital I can honestly say I absolutely love being Callie's mother.
