Did You Ever Think You Would Have So Much Fun?

I hear myself asking Ross this question a lot lately:

Did you ever think you would have so much fun...
     ...watching a baby take a bath?
     ...taking a walk with a baby?
     ...playing with a baby?
     ...watching a baby sleep?

And the list could go on and on. It's amazing to both of us how we are having so much fun with Lucy! Neither of us have ever been "baby people." I never played house or with babies very much when growing up. I was more interested in playing school (which you can read about here) when growing up. I never even had a babysitting job.

Neither one of us had "baby fever" when we got married. Our plan was to wait 2-3 years before having kids so we could enjoy our married life and do a lot of traveling. We both wanted kids and talked about it off and on over our first 2 years of marriage and decided we'd start trying to get pregnant in the spring of 2012. The more we talked about kids, the more excited we got about that part of our life, but I don't think either of us imagined how exciting it would end up being! Sure, the first month was rough - lack of sleep, crying, make that screaming baby that we had no idea how to console, lack of sleep, being nervous handling such a tiny little thing, and did I mention a lack of sleep?

It has been so much fun to watch Lucy grow and learn new things these last 3 months. She has gone from 8 pounds to about 14 and has discovered her hands and feet, she can sit in her bumbo chair really well, she's almost ready to roll over, she is "talking" to us, she loves to splash in her bath, and I could go on and on. It's amazing how we just have so much fun watching her. We do love her so!
