Sweetie Peets

I have the best daughter you could imagine.  No kidding, she only cries literally when she is tired or hungry.  She is constantly cracking me up with her adorable personality too.  My favorite moment is her morning bottle feeding.  It is a time where she is still kind of groggy from just waking up and she lets me love on her.  I always put my cheek on the top of her head and hold her hand while she sits on my lap and finishes her bottle.  It is hard for me to describe the love I feel for her.  It is so much different than the love I feel for everyone else in my life.  It is a heart melting love.  The kind that won't fade over time like some loves do, but will remain strong for a lifetime.

Now that I am a mother, stories that I see on the news really scare the crap out of me.  Like that poor Jaycee Dugard girl who was kidnapped and held captive for 18 years!!!  A real living hell.  Or that jewish kid that was taken by a stranger that smothered and dismembered him in Brooklyn!!  Or even the Hamil family who lost their two boys to the tornado this year.  It is too much, it breaks my heart and makes me want to never let my daughter out of my sight for as long as I live.  I guess bringing kids into your life  opens your eyes and adds a whole new level of worry.

I guess all we can hope for is that they grow up safe and make really good decisions along the way.  I hope I can be a good enough role model for her to look up to during her life.  I guess that means that I really need to quit smoking FOR REAL ...(soon;))  and trying to eat a better diet (which I am working on;).  I could be better, but I could be a whole lot worse too.

I thought you might want a little laugh today as you read this 'oh so serious' post.

 
Someone's pampers are showing:)


Okay fine, I guess I will post a crochet pic;) I admit that my daughters afghan was getting so boring that I decided to put it up for awhile and start on the one for my sister.  I finally asked  her what her favorite color was and it is yellow.  Isn't that crazy?  I just now learned what my own sisters favorite color was!!  Anyway, here is a sneak peek:

It really is much prettier in real life.  In fact, I think it is going to turn out to be a beauty...  I just hope she doesn't look at my blog...
