Little moments:

* Aaron's totally freaked out expression when it was time to take her home.
* Missing Allie when she was asleep (this took me by surprise!)
* Mom having to go out and buy more clothes for her because almost everything was too big on her.
* Aaron reading Allie the Christmas story from her own Bible on Christmas morning.
* Sar and I feeding our babies side by side.
*Allie making an “o” with her mouth while looking around the room.

·         * Feeding time: grabbing my fingers, wrapping her legs around me, and raising her eyebrows

     * Stopping eating to fart, then starting up again (inherited her father's inability to multitask)

     * Smiling in her sleep

     * Holding her pacifier in her mouth
* First real smiles

·          Most sleep deprived moment:

I had several times in Allie's first month of life where I would wake up thinking I was holding her when in fact I was just hugging a pillow. One night she was crying in her pack and play next to our bed. I thought I was holding her so I turned to Aaron and said, "Honey, can you take her?" Being just as sleep deprived as I was, he took the pillow. As he was taking it, I realized it wasn't actually my daughter and said, "Nevermind..." Aaron proceeded to take the pillowcase off of the pillow before I could take the pillow back. I got up to feed Allie...during her next feeding Aaron groggily woke up and said, "Why is this pillowcase off of the pillow??"
