Even with the chaoticness of my every day life chasing toddlers, doing endless amounts of laundry, cleaning up the tornado of toys left behind by two little girls and the demands of an infant. I have really been trying to ENJOY THE LITTLE THINGS that have been going on in our lives.
Kendall spending her 1st nap in her crib {1.31.13}.
I know this may not be big to others but moving the baby to her crib and out of the pack n play is a big deal. It just means that she's growing up. Although I am enjoying watching her grow each day, it's just going by way to fast for my liking. I've been trying to enjoying every single little thing that she does cause it will be the last time I'm able to enjoy it. I think I've been a little more sentimental about her little milestones because she is my last baby.
I'm enjoying her laughs. Her coo's. Her bright smile. Those long lashes. Her squishy cheeks. Her little rolls. And those scratchy finger nails. I love how her eyes light up a room when she notices you. I love to see the smile on her face each morning when she see's me. I love that she adores her sister's and they adore her. I love the bond we've formed from breast feeding. I love everything about this little girl. Her piercing blue eyes. Her long monkey toes like her daddy. Her little button nose. Her small ears like her mama.
I'm thankful for all the moments when she looks into my eyes and smiles and makes me feel like the most awesome mom ever! No matter how upset I am from the older girls not listening or just having a bad day in general, one smile from her makes it all better. I am so thankful that I'm able to stay home each day to witness all the little things happening. To be able to witness and hear that first belly laugh. To be able to witness her finding her hands for the first time. Being able to comfort her when she cries. I love all my girls to the moon and back.
You will never have this day with your children again. Today is a gift. Breathe and notice. Study their little faces and feet. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, it will be gone before you know it! I will admit there has been times that I've felt like I failed as a mom. But in the eyes and heart of my kids, I'm super mom. So I am going to continue to enjoy all the little things that are happening each day and just soak it all in.
so sweet and yes a big deal for sure.
