The Slayton's: The First Five Weeks

I'm still catching myself coming to the realization that I'm a mommy now, and I've been a mommy for almost 6 weeks... And as I think back to the past 6 weeks, I'm amazed at how much I've learned and how much my precious daughter has changed in just this short amount of time. I'm also amazed, not only at how perfectly God forms each of us in our mother's wombs, but also at how He has sustained me during this time of her infancy. I find myself exhausted some days, but most days my body is somehow able to do what it needs to do, and I know that it's only because of the good Lord blessing me with good sleep when I am able to get it.

In the past few weeks, Cynthia is, of course, getting bigger, and she's also getting so much stronger with her neck. She's also really starting to get on more of a schedule, which we all appreciate! (Minus the days when she's going through a growth spurt and all she wants to do is eat!) She's also more and more aware of what's going on around her and beginning to smile more! I knew that I would love this little girl more than I could have ever imagined, but what I wasn't prepared for was that I would love her a little more each day!

Here are some pics of her...
