The wonder weeks

I like this term for the periods when Louis' brain grows and takes in the world around him. Of course, this also means constant eating, nearly constant fussing, and definitely not enough naps. But what the world must seem like to him. He wakes up, and things are becoming vaguely familiar and yet still so new and unsettling. The only steady things are these huge beings that pick him up, keep him warm and clean, and feeds him. Hopefully from that steadiness he will learn how to be human.

I remember when I was pregnant, someone said that I was growing a human in my body, which is rightly amazing. But I find that growing my human, now on the outside, to be a much more incredible feat.
