being a mommy

Some days being a mommy just brings the BIGGEST smile to my face. Makaela is picking up things SO quickly now its kind of scaring me. She knows a ton of words but still cant say them... but I tell ya she is smarter than she lets on.

Tonight before bed I was "peeking" at her through my legs... and she decided to copy me but ended up banging her head on the floor. Poor thing. Somethings she is just not ready for yet:)

When I went into her room tonight with her at bedtime, she made it very clear she wanted me to rock her to sleep... so I did. How could I say no when these moments are going by SO quickly! I love those quiet times when I get to rub her back and sing to her. My favorite is when she starts humming along with me... ! I tell ya, God gives us those moments to give us the strength when we are ready to pull our hair out... and those moments are just as real as the quiet ones! I will always cherish days like these. Being a mommy is simply the best.
