let's get real here. i want to blog. rather, i want to keep up with writing in any form. when i was younger i felt that writing was a strength of mine, and now it's just something i don't have the confidence to do. but i want to change that, and that's why i'm here. but where to begin?
let me talk about this baby, sophie.
i can't believe how fast she is growing. she's getting close to seven months now. WHERE HAS THAT TIME GONE?
fifi is so sassy. she makes these serious (sometimes even mean) faces until you make a funny face at her and she breaks out into a big "turtle face" smile.
she's got two tiny teeth on the bottom, and she's got more growing in.
she can sit up and is learning to crawl. so far she gets her self into plank position (the girl's got a strong core!), holds herself there for a few seconds, then falls. but you ought to see her scoot backwards.
she loves yo gabba gabba and blue's clues, and laughs at "mail time," every time.
sophie's most recent trick is a yummy open mouth kiss that she plants on the side of my face while blowing on my face and making raspberry sounds.
being a mom is often challenging. but it is also the most rewarding thing in my life.
i love hearing my baby girl's belly laugh when she thinks i'm being so funny.
i love the way she looks around excitedly at all the goodies when we're at target (who could she have gotten that from?).
i love peeking in at her sleeping and seeing her in what must be uncomfortable positions, looking just like her dad.
i love the serious, thoughtful look she gets on her face when i whisper in her ear.
i love seeing myself in her. this also worries me to no end.
i love the spirit of innocence and purity she brings into our home.
how will i ever be able to give this sweet child everything she deserves?
