this is crazy late, but it was worth it. i waited until the time was right—the sun was shining, the baby was happy, the three year old was otherwise engaged.
prepare for photo overload, because sometimes you win some.
*weight—not sure, i totally spaced on her 6 month checkup and had to reschedule. somewhere between “poo-splosions in size 2 diapers” and “butt falling out of size 3 diapers”.
*height—see above.
*eyes—just blue enough to melt your heart
*cheeks—just chubby enough for spectacular kisses. right in that triangle between cheek, ear and neck.
hair—just long enough that she wakes up with the most awesome bed head. like a fluffy baby ducky.
*skillzzz—mad. things such as: sitting up, clapping hands. boom—done. we’ve even flirted with the “bye-bye wave”. also: the ability to detect mommy’s tip-toes—no matter how quiet—when screaming in her bed.
you guys? i DO.NOT.WANT.MORE.BABIES.
but what in the world do i do…
about THIS?????
can i really make this my last swing through babytown????
Oh she is too darling for words. You make such beautiful babies and they grow into such beautiful and wonderful big kids.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we're done with two children, but when we're having a good day (or moment, as is more likely) and S is glowing up at me or is scooting around the living room or belly-laughing while I nibble on her face, I think: how can we not do this again? It is AWESOME.
Oy she's adorable!
ReplyDeletethat is one breathtaking baby
ReplyDeletebig mom-mom
thanks! i like her...think i'll keep her a while ;)
ReplyDelete@d--i don't think i could have been satisfied with 2 children. okay, i'm POSITIVE. i didn't expect 5, but i love it. and believe it or not, there are still peaceful moments around here. not that they make me want another...but...
