A very wise person once said, "Your first child is a love affair and a science experiment." Ok, maybe it was Granny Nanny who told me that yesterday, but she's still wise to me! She's been doing this parenting thing since she was 19!!
Either way, the quote came up because I just can't imagine loving another baby as much as I love our chubby, giggling, dribbling, Buggy! I guess we'll just have to wait and see if/when Hailey's brother or sister comes along, but for now, this little nugget has captured my heart and won't let go!
If only I could just stop her from growing up so fast. In the past two days she has practically turned into a toddler!
She's eating Cheerios and drinking out of her big girl sippy cup.
She's developed a liking for Mommy and Daddy's favorite pizza place, "Mary Angela's".
She's perfected her, "I'm displeased with something, so find out what it is and fix it Mommy" face.
She's clapping...all the time!
And waving! "Hi Grandma and Grandpa!"
She's saying, "Mama!!"
She's crawling up the stairs.
And crawling through boxes.
She got her first dollhouse!
And she's discovered how much fun she can have with a roll of toilet paper if Mommy leaves her alone for 20 seconds!
Yes, this little girl makes us very happy without even trying!
We are so blessed! God is good!
I totally remember feeling the same way when we just had Hendley...and then the Boss Man came along and our hearts must have gotten bigger, because we good gravy, we LOVE that guy, too. Now I'm wondering if there will be enough love to go around for Caboose! :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the truth! God is good!! It is amazing to look in to the eyes of your child and realize that that perfection is only possible if there is a God and Divine Creator. How blessed we are to be co-creators with Him. She is beautiful, and don't you worry, the next baby will be just as amazing as the first! Even more amazing because you realize you are twice blessed!! :)
