so i kinda have stopped doing the whole update every month/ doc visit thing with lena. but i don't want to forget anything, especially these moments i find myself cherishing so much. they pass so quickly.... (you just turned 7 months old last week!)
so dear sweet lena, (my future self & my few readers) here are some wonderful things that i hope to always hold on to in my heart.......
your angelic sweet sleeping face
the way you rock back & forth trying to get the crawling thing down
you sit all on your own, but still working on getting there by your self
your crossed feet & ankles when you are on your knees, you sit just like daddy does
the way you raise your eyebrows while you're nursing
when you reach out for me for me to hold you
the nuzzles you give me while i hold you
those big, curious, intense blue eyes
your high chair hand banging & feet kicking when you're delighted about eating or the in between bites boredom
your soft soft light hair fuzz that reminds me of a newly hatched little chick
when you go to the "daddy cube" in your crib before every nap, as if to have some snuggle time with just him
the way you love feeding yourself puffs, so much that i had to start giving you a few at a time, because my dear, you would go after all the puffs on the tray & put them all in your mouth, making sure there were none on the tray before you started "chewing" & swallowing them
your sentences & sounds..... lots of "niyy", "eeerr", "aaayy", "tthhhhsssss" & you say them all with such conviction
the way you giggle when i hold you over my head, spin you around & give you kisses & raspberries on your neck
your intense fascination with the trees, plants, shrubs, anything green..... grammy says you'll be an arborist....
your smiles
your sweet smell
your baby breath - you have such sweet breath, even in the mornings, hahaha!
the way you (mostly) calm down & stop crying when you're in my arms
i love you so much my dear, you are growing so fast, i wish daddy was here to share all of these moments with us...... but there will be more.

I can't get over this picture!!! It is seriously the most adorable thing I've seen in a while. And that's saying something! Her little legs...oh my goodness. I'm going to be giggling for a while. And THAT is saying something.
