First Christmas

I can't wait!!
We got her so much cool stuff!
And she has her own playroom! I can't wait!!!!!!! Oh how I wish I could show it all to her now!
She is so bored with her old toys and so ready for the ride on stuff! I can't wait for her to dance and sing and ride on all these new toys!!!
I heart Santa<3

My family...



Us this Christmas:

God...It's been 7 months?

She's the perfect size.
I could just eat her up. She is the perfect little dumpling of 7 months.
She smiles from ear to ear. Just seeing me, she smiles.
It is the best love a person could ever be blessed with. I love her name. I say it all the time. Lily Claire, Lily Claire, Lily Claire.
It's so perfect for her. It's funny how it came to me too.
My mom had told me that when the perfect name was ready, it would come. And it did!
She tries so hard to crawl, and she wants to talk to me! She tries every sound her little mouth can make and every shape her lips can form to try and talk to me.
She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen...EVER.
I love her so much. I don't know who I was before her. What did I do? What did I spend my time thinking about? Who did I love or think I loved?
I never knew life before her, or at least I don't think it really mattered.
I was born to be her mom.
I was ALWAYS her mom.
This is what it's all about.
She drools, she spits up, she is teething and mad, she has a bald spot, she screams and wont sleep in her crib, her poops are disgusting, she wont give me a moment's peace, I have not gone to the bathroom by myself since I've known her, She won't let me sleep, She wakes up entirely too early, She throws up on my shoulder nearly every day, She tries to eat power cords and dog hair, She wants to lick the remote, She sleeps between me and my husband, I live in fear that I'm not going to keep her safe ENOUGH,
and...
Its the best thing I've ever done, experienced, smelled, laughed at and dreaded. Ever.
