You woke up at 2:30 this morning (not your norm), and as I sat there and nursed and rocked you, I looked at the big girl on my lap and wondered these things:
- When did you get to be so big? You stretch across my lap and over the arms of the rocking chair now.
- When did you get so much hair? It's blond and wispy and beautiful and it might be curling over your ears.
- When did you get to be so mobile? You crawl around everywhere now (and get your head jammed in the end of the crib because you don't back up).
- When did you get to be so beautiful? You've always been adorable, but you are just so beautiful now!
- When did you get to be so fun? You love to play with us and laugh and smile. You make me laugh and smile all day long!
- When did you get to be so smart? You figure things out and recognize words and songs, wave and clap.
- When did you get to be so opinionated? You know what you want, when you want it, and where you want it. There's no distracting you. You will pitch a fit if you don't get your way.
Love, Mommy
Aw, Keri, how super sweet. What a darling!
ReplyDeleteAwww. I love her.
ReplyDeletelove this post. I want to freeze time, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen you learn how to freeze time, let me know. So often I have thought that over the past 13 years with the kids. So beautifully stated Keri. Enjoy her even at 2:30 am.

Oh dear. I might cry. WHY DO THEY GROW SO FAST????? (Whenever I say that to Christopher, he always says "well, aren't they supposed to grow? Isn't that the point?" That's completely beside the point. I wish they stayed little just a little longer!)
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet Keri! I have felt that especially with my little Rowan these days...please slow down!
ReplyDeleteAmelia is a beauty and I pray that she is a blessing to you and your hubby every day!
Lots of love,
