what makes me happy...

It's after 9pm on a Saturday night and I'm at home on the computer...and I'm perfectly fine with that. My daughter is sound asleep, my husband is around the house somewhere, and I couldn't be happier.


Today as I was driving, I hear "bawawawawawa" as Carlee moves her hand back and forth against her mouth to make that noise. Instantly I cracked a smile. She cracks me up. Its the little things like a silly noise she makes that make me smile.

Not that I was ever an unhappy person before, but nothing has made me as happy as the things Carlee does. She has a whole new slew of tricks too!

Just yesterday she was playing in the hallway and I hear a ball roll down the hallway. Then I think "Did she throw it?" She comes crawling down the hallway, picks up the ball, wails her arms, and out it flies! Ok so its more like her dropping it, but she's "throwing" it all on her own! I was so proud!

Its days like today that make me want to freeze in time! Especially when I tell Carlee "Give momma kisses" and she opens her mouth as wide as she can and puts it to my cheek. I don't want these days to end. Just recently I've started thinking about her birthday party (omg!) and started buying her 12 month outfits (they look much larger than 9 months!) Its bittersweet...I love my little baby but I'm excited for her to grow up and learn even more things.

Its hard to be sad about them growing up when its so exciting to watch them learn new things. She's such a doll.

I love that she gives kisses! I agree, watching the grow up is a ton of fun yet looking back you realize how quick it goes by...
