Isn't it crazy how we get so caught up in the daily ho-hum of life and forget to stop and smell the roses that God planted for us along the way? 

     Sitting here with my daughter bouncing on my knee, typing out this blog is both challenging and entertaining at the same time.  :)  With drool on my arm and running down my leg, I just smile, shake my head, and kiss her precious little forehead.  God has blessed me with so  ,..    bnbb mcc bbbbbbb    (apparently she had something to say!  lol)   She's not too happy about Mommy putting her down... 

      So as I was saying.. :)  God has blessed me with so many wonderful people in my life, I can't help but stop for a moment and just be thankful.  I used to get so caught up in the buzz of life and not take time for the little things.  Now, it's the smallest of things that brings a smile dancing across my face.  Funny how the sleepless nights still drag on as the sound of little feet kicking the bassinet at 3am, and yet all she has to do is smile and my heart's bursting with such joy, I can't contain my laughter!  No matter how much poop we BOTH are wearing at the time because somebody wanted to wiggle through her diaper change, or how loud her little "toots" are in public when we're both covered in spit-up because she wants to dance after she eats, she's still the one who can make me smile even when I don't want to.  (She must get that from her Daddy.  I love you Gary!) 

    I can't describe the sheer excitement I felt when she rolled over for the first time, and the second, and the third, and the forth, and today.. :)  Or the time I had her in her boucy seat in the doorway of the bathroom while I took a shower and I heard her music start playing because SHE pulled the string to make it play.  :)  Or right now as she's in her swing laughing at me as I'm typing. 

       Life was great before Kendyl came along, but now the music is so much sweeter!  I love going walking as a family around the campus of Lee and sitting on a blanket in the grass playing with our little angel.  It's the small things in life that have so much meaning that we so easily tend to overlook that I find so much happiness in now.  And it's all because I took the chance with this man at Chick-Fil-A, who turned out to be the man of my dreams, and now, the father of my beautiful little girl. 

     So, how is life as a mom to a 3 and 1/2 month old, you ask?  As crazy, hectic, unorganized, and silly our life is right now, I wouldn't change a thing.  Well, maybe the 45 pounds I gained while I was pregnant... Nah.. That can wait.  :)

I know you won't be able to read and understand what Mommy is saying right now, Kendyl, but THANK YOU so much for making me want to be a better person and live with the excitement that you do!  I love you so much, my little darling!   Mommy loves you and I'm sooooo proud of you!  Dream big and live life to the extreme, no matter what anyone says or thinks about it!  xoxoxoxoxo
