Happy First birthday WonderBaby!

I hope you remain amazed with the world for the rest of your days and you never fail to see the beauty within and around you.

May God bless you and your Momma. Because she rocks.

Damn girl! You really know how to package how we all feel about our children. Can I just copy this and give it to my kids?

Beautiful…..

That was beautiful. Happy belated birthday to your daugther! What a wonderful gift for her in the future.

Of course, now I’m kicking myself that I didn’t do something similar on my kids’ birthdays.

And those eyes – they remind me of my own daughter’s. The ped frequently has said “ah, she still hasn’t grown into her eyes” to which I think – I don’t want her to!

I’m glad I’m at home right now, bawling in front of my computer, and that my baby girl is sleeping in her bed. It’s a special relationhsip, isn’t it? You caught it beautifully.

Crap, you are killing me! I was trying to be subtle about reading blogs at work, but crying definitely takes subtle out of the equation.

My mother used to say to me every night when she tucked me in. “You won’t always be my little girl, but you’ll always be my baby.”

I get completely teary whenever I think of that now.

As a woman whose oldest child, a son, will turn 18 in March, I know how you’re feeling. Everything we’re doing seems to be, in many ways, for the last time. After this year, he’ll only be around part time. These years go by in a blink and I’m astounded at how emotional I am, though I probably shouldn’t be so surprised. The week we brought him home, I found myself weeping over phone company commercials and wondering how I could ever live without this tiny person whom I had only just begun to know. Your post was wonderful…and so relevant to me.
