a wise friend of mine told me recently that if i blinked, you'd be grown up. it feels like that might be true. today marks two months since you were born, and it feels like it was just yesterday. two months ago, you were this teeny tiny little wisp of a girl with big, bright eyes who slept more than she was awake and charmed the pants off of everyone you met.
so wee!
fast forward two months and you seem like a different baby completely!
look at you now, all alert and curious!
you're a little chunky monkey now. you're so soft and sweet and squirmy and funny! we see more of your personality every day. you make eye contact now, and you smile all the time. you even laughed yesterday! it was the cutest thing i've ever heard. you also started babbling a little yesterday, and we had a nice little 'talk' :). you're even starting to teethe, and i thought it was too soon, but apparently it's not! you're not too miserable yet, but mama and daddy did go and load up on teethers and natural teething gel so we can help you out. anything for you. :)
you really are growing up fast. i wish i could stop blinking so you would stay little forever, but i'm also excited to see you grow up and watch who you become. i'm excited for the days where we can really play, where i can read to you and see you understanding what i'm saying, where we can sing and dance together. i can't wait for your first steps, your first words...and yet, i desperately want you to stay little always. i can't imagine you being 5, 12, 18, 25, 30...growing up, going to college, getting married and having children of your own...i want all of that for you, but not for a long, long time. for now, mommy just wants to enjoy every day being with you and stealing all your hugs and kisses.
in the meantime, if you catch me staring off into space, don't worry. i'm just practicing not blinking. :)
i love you forever and always,
mommy :)
