Miss Beautiful

I just uploaded some pictures off of our camera of Miss Amelia. It's so hard to choose just a few, but here you go:






Isn't she just BEAUTIFUL? I mean, every parent thinks THEIR child is beautiful, but come on!!!! OMG!!!!!

I haven't been blogging about Little Miss a whole lot, mainly because I haven't been blogging a whole lot about anything. But another reason why is that, mostly, I just can't put into words how amazing it is to be her mother. Every day, my heart explodes with even more love and even more joy. It just gets better and better! Right now, at about 9 1/2 months, I feel like we are in the sweet spot. She is so hilarious and is doing such amazing things.

What really gets me, though, is that I am her mom, and she is my daughter. And oh, how many days worth celebrating there are to come!

I have to say, as well, that Ben and I are doing a pretty kick-butt job. I look back at the baby advice books, smiling to myself about all of the things we panicked about after she was born. Trust me, I know there's still a lot to learn, but we have mastered so much already!

She is ME in so many ways. She is all drama.



She sings like a rock star. She pushes aside vegetables for a big hunk of bread or meat. She is impatient. SOOO impatient. She is stubborn and has to do things her own way. She LOOOOOVES to sleep. Don't even TRY to rock her or sing her a lullaby after her bottle. Just put her in her crib, already, and don't forget her bink and blankie or you will HEAR IT!!!

I just can't say enough about who she is and what she means to Ben and me. She is one loved little girl.

I used to sing this song to her before she was born, and it is absolutely without a doubt, our anthem. For my Amelia, forever and for always, "I'm not enough, I swear it, but take my love and wear it over your shoulder..."



I'll follow you into the light.



HOLLA -
