I Do, I Do!

I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!!!



There I did it... I actually said it. It only took 6 months but now I am really enjoying my roll as mother. I was so stressed out the first 4 months.

This is what I love about being a mommy:
  • seeing that smiling face
  • playing peek a boo and crawling around on the floor to make her laugh
  • teaching Hailey (sit up, crawl, spit, bite (I know I will pay for that one))
  • feeding her (she just loves to eat)
  • going to our baby groups and making new mommy friends
  • talking about her.....I'm pretty much obsessed with Hailey. Sorry if it is getting annoying
  • having Hailey reach out for me to pick her up and hold her
  • the few really good cuddles I get when she is very tired or hurt
  • seeing her play with daddy and enjoying it
  • watching her figure out how to get something out of her reach
  • looking over the crib and seeing her grin because she is so excited to see me (aka - get out of the crib)
  • telling her "NO" and watching her laugh at me (I try so hard to be serious)
  • and more...
I am so grateful for my difficult baby.

P.S. Dear God: If the next one is like Hailey we are done at two ;)

6 months? It took me about 8 or 9 months to be able to say I love being a mom. Funny how it isn't instant.

But it does get better and better, I promise!!
