Tonight 1/23/2013




Tonight as I sit in my room on the floor hiding from my daughter so she can fall asleep, I cant help but think of how thankful I am to be a mom! A little over nine months ago my life changed forever! I would have never guessed that someone so tiny could make such a huge impact on my life. When they say the little things matter the most its the truth. 
I know people say when you’re teaching your kids something you have to be consistent. But tonight I just couldn’t help myself. After watching Evie sit in her bed, on her knees, with her face pressed against the netting, her hands by her cheeks just waiting so patiently to see her mommy after a long day of work. I stood up from behind the bed to see her eyes light up when she saw me! We sat on my bed staring at each other holding each other tight. Not saying a word just embracing the moment. I watched her eye lids get heavy, her fingers tangled in my hair not wanting to drift off. She tossed and turned to get comfy in my arms. She slowly drifts into dreamland. I kiss her goodnight, lay her in bed and quietly sneak off. 
Its moments like these that I wish would last forever! 


Its about time!


She did it!! 
I've waited 11 1/2 long months for this day!  She doesn't know what it means.  But I do! 

 It happend today around 4 pm. We just got home from getting her a BIG GIRL CAR-SEAT! That's right my baby has grown out of her infant car-seat. I cant believe it! Anyway, We were sitting on the floor, she was walking around talking gibberish..as usual. Saying "dada, baba" and then she said it!! She said "mama!!" My heart skipped a beat! I couldn't even believe it! Shes never ever said mama! I ran to her and squeezed her tight and gave her a kiss. She has no idea she said it. I've waited my whole life to be called mama! It was such a special moment for me! The best part about it is shes been saying it all day! I'm in love with her all over again!
