Why is it that the first child always gets the attention and focus of all those tiny “firsts”…
”ah look honey, she just grew out of her newborn clothes”, “ah, our baby is crawling”, “What a big girl, no more diapers for you!” Now with the second it’s more like “what!? Your already in 6-9 months!”, “Oh no, she’s crawling…no I really have to watch her”, or the best “Gosh, I can’t wait to potty train so we can stop buying diapers”.
I still look back at this blog with such fond memories of Sofia and the life changing experience she gave to Nick and I and I want the same memories with Emilia. Emilia is such a soft hearted and lovable little girl. She looks at you and just melts your hear with her lovable eyes. She has changed our lives in more ways than one.
So, let’s try and recap the last 7 months-
Where to begin…Sofia; WOW can’t believe my baby girl is almost 4 years old!! I know it’s not new hearing me say this, but she truly is a unique little girl. Her personality is filled with colorful explanations, inquisitive interpretations and hilarious remarks. Just the other day, while sitting at the dinner table eating dinner, she stopped mid bite and spread her arms and said with such innocent love “I love you guys”. And then there’s the repeating…I was walking through the house the other day and thought I was alone. WRONG. My shadow was not too far behind and head me say “I have so much sh@# to do”, she came into the room repeating me and as I was trying to discipline her, the whole time I was holding back laughter. These moments make all the hectic and stress filled duties of being a parent totally worthwhile.
Emilia, my little Bubble! She is growing as fast as I can sort of the bins and bins of clothes that I have saved from Sofia. Poor younger sister always get the hand me downs. Emilia looks cute in just about anything. She is growing so fast and is a little on the chunky side. It’s amazing to see her growing and transform from this tiny little newborn into a chunky and inquisitive baby going on toddler. It’s amazing to see the two girls interact with each other. Emilia is infatuated with Sofia. She watches her every move, attempts to mimic and laugh at Sofia’s quirkiness.
So, my goal is to keep up with my blogging efforts and document the things that make me smile each day. For those of you that follow this, thanks for reading and sharing these precious moments with us.
