NINE months

it is so hard to believe that my sweet angel is nine months old today. she has brought more beauty to my world than i could have ever dreamed. she is truly my tiny, little best friend. these days when she is playing with her toys on the floor i will watch her from across the room and she is totally unaware. she will pick up her little stuffed bunny and hug and kiss it. and then, she talks to it. she will have a full on conversation with this bunny (of course nothing that you or i could understand). her tiny voice is so sweet and she is so endearing. its the little things, isnt it? i could just sit and watch her for hours. she is a tiny sponge, soaking up this world as fast as her little eyes and ears can send it all to her brain. she is growing and learning a mile a minute. she is still so pure and free from all this world is. i know it wont be this way forever and i cherish every single second. i pray every night that she will be an intimate of god's. that even now, when there are no words, that she will hear his whispers and know him and his great love for her. i am overwhelmed at the gift god has given me in my sweet daughter. to be a mother is undoubtedly the greatest joy i will ever know. nine months...where does the time go? i love you rooster, xoxo -mommy




ps) am i the only mommy that stares at the monitor trying to figure out a way that i can crawl into that crib without waking her up or breaking the darn thing? i wish i could cuddle her at night while she sleeps! :)
