I'm in the middle of copying everything from Blogger to an actual journal, but I wanted to write about this. (For when I actually catch up to current day stuff.) I've been so behind in keeping a journal. I'm trying to do better.
I had the most precious moment with you. I was rocking you, getting ready to put you to bed. You looked up at me and gave me this half smile. It made me smile, which made you smile bigger, and I smiled bigger.....so on and so on. It was just such a precious moment. I can't believe how big you've gotten. 6 months got here so quickly. I remember last year, at Halloween, posting the photos of the cute little Halloween onesies that someone got for you, while I was still pregnant. I remember looking at the size and reading, "9 months". That seemed like forever from where I was at that point. Now here we are, just a few months from when I'll get to put you in your first Halloween costume. Shortly after that, your first Thanksgiving and first Christmas. And of course right after that, your birthday. I'm glad you were born in January. I always get so sad when the Christmas festivities are over. Now your birthday gives me something to look forward to.
I can't even express how much love for you, your father and I have. Tonight, you were crawling (oh yes, you decided to learn how to crawl on August 4th, 2013) down the hallway and your father was playing with you. He looked up and said, "okay, we're going to have to have another one. I'm already getting so sad at how big she is getting". Then we talked about remembering when you were so small and tiny. How you used to lay on our chest and just sleep there. It's hard to get you to cuddle these days. You're far too curious as to what is around you and what you can get in to. We love that you're curious, we just miss the cuddles.
<3 you baby girl. Guess it's time for bed. You've been asleep for an hour now. Suppose I should follow just in case you feel like waking up again tonight. :)
