Sweet girl, words simply fail me. You are literally growing before my eyes.
We spent a while on the floor in your room today.
While you rolled back and forth among your sweet little toys, I just laid next to you and watched in awe. How can my birdie be so big? I mean, didn't I JUST get home from the hospital with my newborn in my arms? It feels like yesterday that I was pregnant and waiting for your birthday, but yet here we are almost 6 months later. It's been a lifetime but also a blink of an eye.
Sometimes you get frustrated when you can't reach your toys right away. I let you work it out because, little one, failure is a part of success. Plus, I needed a moment to photograph your fussy face. You also had me giggling a little with all of your vowel sounds and bubble blowing. I just know you will be babbling soon!
We played like this for long time. After a while, I knew you were going to be fussy soon, so I actively soaked it in. I pinched your little thigh rolls, I kissed you at 100mph in your neck crease, I let you reach up and grab my bottom lip, and I told myself to never forget that at one point in my life, my afternoons were spent laying on the floor admiring you. How lucky am I?
I Love You Once, I Love You Twice
I Love You More Than Beans and Rice,
Mama
