As the mini’s first birthday approaches (one week today!), I am overwhelmed by the emotions that I feel. Over the past year, my mini has grown and developed into a sweet, caring, smiling little girl who loves her family so much and isn’t afraid to let you know. She hugs, kisses, smiles, waves and is always offering to share her snacks and toys. She's so smart, yet such a goofball who loves to make you laugh. I’m so proud of the little girl she’s becoming.
Every time she accomplishes a new thing, I remember nostalgically about the day she was born and holding this tiny little being in my arms for the first time. So precious, so helpless…. so still. This week was one of those milestone moments in our house – my mini took her first steps. One small step for baby, one giant leap towards toddlerhood. Not sure if I’m ready for that.
Somedays I want her to be my baby forever, but then I know I’ll miss out on all these firsts that are happening. It’s interesting how torn you can feel between wanting them to grow up and run/walk/play…. but still wanting the constant snuggles.
We’re impatiently awaiting the arrival of my first niece and so I’m hoping to get my fill of newborn snuggles soon because this mom’s uterus is closed for business…. For now.
