What does a six week old baby girl do?

• she pulls her mumma's hair, catching it in her tiny fists and holding on with exceptional force
• she smiles, if you're lucky
• she vomits, if you're not
• she grows out of her 0000 clothes but doesn't quite fit her 000 clothes
• she screams in the car unless you talk to her the entire time
• she feeds a lot (milky boob goodness)
• she dreams of being held all day
• she stares into her mum's eyes, her sweet mouth a little 'o' of hello 

 What does the mother of a six week old baby girl do?

• she wears her hair in ponytails a lot
• she smiles back so hard she feels like she might be having an aneurysm
• she doesn't flinch – three kids in, a bit of baby vom won't phase her
• she reluctantly folds the tiny clothes and packs them away, not yet ready to contemplate what to do with them in the long term
• she talks to her baby in the car the entire time
• she feeds a lot (chocolaty brownie goodness)
• she dreams of not holding the baby for five minutes so she can go to the damn toilet
• she stares into her daughter's eyes, kisses her sweet little 'o' mouth and says, "Hello to you, too, my precious girl. I love you more than you could ever know."
