This post has been waiting for over two weeks now.  Sorry baby girl.  Today I post, no matter how little I write.

As I sit here on the couch you’re next to me with three books, your fish toy and pink stacking rings.  You didn’t want to be on the floor playing, you wanted to be up next to me.  For me it doesn’t get any better than this.

Your desire to be with me all the time is the sweetest thing ever.  You’ve been slightly feverish for the past couple of days.  We’ve all tried to take care of you, but you have made it clear that you want me.  And the way you have communicated that fact was hysterical.  Is it sad that your dad and I pass you back and forth just to hear you yell that you want me?

Sweet girl…another month has come and gone.  You may not be big, but you are growing so fast.

You finally have some meat on your bones.  You love the food I’ve given you so far.  To be honest, you haven’t tried that much, but we’re moving forward.  If you would ever get some teeth you would probably be eating some table food.

For the first time in a long time, I feel a bit panicked.  You’re just not my little baby anymore.  Nothing you do is the act of an infant.  Not even close.  You are finally growing out of your 3-6 month outfits.  I am trying to put them on you one last time for one last photo.  Sigh.  Some people don’t like this stage, I love it.  Yes, it gets better and better, but I love being able to hold babies in my arms.  With that in mind, I promise to hold you in my arms every time you drink your bottle, (except dinner because that is your big girl time at the table with the whole family.)  I don’t want to miss a second of holding you in my arms.

You army crawl so very fast.  You know exactly where your little basket of toys is located.  As well as you brother’s alphabet puzzle.  It drives him crazy that you play with the pieces of his puzzle.

Baby girl, you shine when you see your brothers.  I love that about you.  You love hearing stories, you grab the book and listen to my voice.  Each day you are with us brings us so much joy.  I love you so much my sweet girl.  May God Bless you always!
