the girl is mine

July 26, 2011

Elsie Jane, you keep me on my toes.

And just look at you…

 

I’m just so glad you’re here.

 

When you’re in the midst of The Colic, you wonder if your baby will ever smile or sit  content for even a moment or sleep peacefully. So this small moment? The one up there? I will (prepare for sappy sapperton) cherish it. I will cup my palm around it and gently pull it close. And then I’ll wait for more. There is so much more to come.

the girl is mine.

(That’s a song lyric, right?) (MY BRAIN!)

Oh, the colic is so hard. My second was a tough case. Little sleep, lots of crying, and lots of only mommy holding. I will tell you he is my sweetest most loving, huggable little one, and as a toddler he was a dream! We say he got all his fussing out as a baby. *Prayers*Hugs*Encouragement – It does get better, promise!

Holy Cuteness! I cannot wait to give her a squeeeeeeeeeeze!

One more week!

The doggone girl IS yours. And you just know she will put on a wonderful show next week, and no one will believe your colic woes. Babies, they mock us.

You are so right. There is so much more of that beauty coming your way.

Look at those awesome cheeks!! Have you warned her about all the ladies that will be eager to hold her next week? I hope so.

Glad for this moment. For both of you. :)

Oh sweet girl. She looks like one of yours too.

So sad I won’t see you and her in San Diego. Take pictures!
