| My little turtle <3 |
I can see time slipping through my fingers much too quickly. In just a few days, my little girl will be 4 months old, and then it's only 8 months until she's a year old... where does the time go?
Her hand eye coordination is improving at a phenominal rate. I love it when she puts her hands together like in the above photo... so precious.
Sept the 14th, she had her first two teeth pop out. This picture wasn't taken on the same day... you try putting your fingers in your babies mouth to take a picture of teeth. Bubbles and a tongue easily get in the way.

It seems like I can never get over those moments of Mama Pride... and I love that.
I can't wait until she is old enough so we can go on Mommy Daughter Dates. We can go out for brunch or lunch, go to the spa to get a pedicure and our hair done together. And if money is tight for whatever reason, I can make us a special snack, grab my nail polish and buffing brush and we can do each other nails. I can fix up her hair, and she can mess around with mine :)
In quiet moments like this, it nearly breaks my heart (and fills it with joy) that one day, my Little Miss will be a confident, amazing young woman who will have her own wings and won't need her mama anymore. So I snuggle in real close, breathe her in and try to soak up every second of her.
It's a challenge to be a good mom and let her be daring and explore her new world, try new things and take chances. I *HAVE* to let her be daring to grow and develope. I want so much to be there to catch her when she falls, but I think that sometimes, I have to pick her up after she stumbles to be able to learn what she needs to.
This amazing little person is mine, and I am OVERWHELMED with how much I love her.
