Almost every morning, Emily will come stand in front of me with her arms stretched wide to her side, standing up as tall as she can and she asks, "Mom, Am I bigger yet?" My answer, "you are getting there." Her response every time, "so can I play on the boys jungle gym?" I giggle to myself and answer, "you'll have to speak to Miss Raphael about that!"
This little conversation that we have at least 3 times a week always leaves me thinking about the fact that when we are children we spend so much of our time thinking about "being grown up" - or about being as big as that pretty girl in the class above us.
As the weeks and months pass, I watch in amazement as our girls get bigger almost by the second. Its CRAZY how fast Hailey has grown. She is 7 months today and has brought so much JOy to our lives. Emily and Hailey are already virtually inseparable and hopefully showing signs of being life long close sisters and friends. Hailey is desperately trying to crawl and I think that she will be in the next two weeks! She has reached these milestones so fast I can hardly remember her as a tiny little new born that did nothing but eat, sleep and pooooop! And oh boy, was there lots of poop! She is now on solids and eating 3 meals a day. Still keeping us up at night (but we are working on that), and a very chatty little thing!
Emily is growing and becoming such a beautiful, kind natured treasure. She spends her days singing and dancing while playing with her toys. She is our SunShiNe GiRL!
Our girls laugh and screech and play together constantly and bring us such unthinkable joy! We are blessed to have them and blessed to have each other! ....Now if only time would slow down a little so that we can have a moment longer to take it all in!
Have a blessed day everyone!
