I am so SO sorry for not making more of an effort to document your life. The two of us have had more moments snuggling and giggling and being silly than I could ever have captured, and I want you to know I've loved every second of it. Almost every second. I could have done without that night you puked all over me four times and I ran out of clean pajamas. You're a joy and a delight and you make us all so happy we can hardly contain ourselves. I promise not to let another day go by without taking a picture of you. But please know that all those moments I could have grabbed a camera, I just held you or played with you instead. I love love LOVE being your mother. Your cheerful, goofy little spirit has lit up my life.
Jane Austen ... never too early to start. :)
Like Mother like Daughter.
Eldon just watched me post this and said, "You don't ever give them ... that, do you?"
My answer? "Not yet." :)
This picture is actually from today. :) You were climbing up the toy kitchen in your bedroom to watch the neighbor kids play outside. In fact, I took a picture of you from outside too:
These are the kids you were watching. Chiara and all her friends love you so much! They love to play with you and help you at the playground and they cheer for you every time they think you do something new. :) You are beloved, Belle Belle.
