Today I did something that I haven't done in awhile...or maybe ever. As I was sitting across from my little bundle feeding her breakfast, I stopped and really looked at her. Not just my usual glance or gaze...I straight up stared at her. For the first time, I really felt like I saw her. I know that sounds super weird, I mean heck, I look at her everyday! But this time was different...
It took my breath away. I saw the light in her eyes which seemed to speak volumes. They were eyes of joy and curiosity...a glimpse into her little mind and soul. In that moment I realized that this little creature would soon become a walking and talking little girl and woman. Now you see why it took my breath away!!! For months I have been so focused on baby-dom that I haven't even thought about the fact that she will one day be an adult. Oh my, it seems impossible.
I will try my best to remember to enjoy this special time in our lives. And enjoy gazing at her precious face and startling brilliant blue eyes. I will take each moment as a gift as I know that it's only a matter of time until she's asking to borrow the car keys...
