So much has changed in our Millie girl this past year but the best things are still the same. Millie is so bright. She is empathetic. She is persistent. She is kind. She is clever. She is funny. She is rambunctious. She is spunky. She is beautiful. And more and more we are seeing that while we call her “baby” she really isn’t a baby. She’s our baby. But not a baby.
We have conversations with her, though we carry them. We give directions and she follows. We play jokes and have dance parties…girlfriend has got the moves. We give kisses and she wipes them off…or rubs them in. It’s her new thing.
I just remembered saying as I held her for the first time “She’s ours.” and then thinking “I get to take her home.” I am so thankful she is ours and I have loved being home, watching her grow, helping her learn, and loving her with every fiber of my being. Almost two has it’s challenges. I’m sure two will be the same but different-because that’s how every stage of this raising kids thing goes.
So I think I’ll go tuck myself in bed now with my baby and let her sleep so she can start climbing the mountain of 2. She needs her rest. She’s got S’mores to eat tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Honey Girl. Love you always.
Momma & Daddy
Blessings.
