Where does the time go....

When you are pregnant you want everything to go by so fast because you want to see and hold your baby so bad. When they finally come into this world you find yourself waiting for the next stage or excited for them to reach the smiling stage, laughing stage, sitting up, crawling, pulling up, first words and so on. Then one day you look at your toddler and wonder where did all that time go. You forget so fast the baby stage and how precious they are when they just look at you without saying anything, but saying so much. All of a sudden they are talking back to you, answering your questions that never got responses before. They tell you what they are feeling and start to show a small glimpse of what they will be like at 15.

I have learned so much in the last 20 months with Alivia. She has taught me to cherish every moment even if it's staying up all night to hold them because they can't sleep or let them have their moment/tantrum even if your in the middle of target. These days come and go so fast. For some reason you always remember the best moments and those not so good ones tend to disappear.

When your child starts acting or coping you is when you know they love you. I laugh every time Alivia walks around the house on the her cell phone talking to who knows just chatting away. A typical conversation tends to go like this:
hi.....yeah.....ummmmmm........yeah.........k......bye (all of this is done while walking around with the phone under her ear and chin, purse on the other arm and one hand moving all over like it's talking too)
I knew I always wanted to be a mom, but these days I couldn't ask for a better job in the world. Each day is an adventure that I can't wait to take!
