Little things....

As I watch my daughter, it amazes me how the littlest things she does just brings tears to my eyes and such pride comes over me. She is growing up before our eyes and accomplishing so many things. I love waking up to her every morning and seeing her happy, smiling, laughing little face. She is discovering so many things and she is so amazed by everything around her. She has a little toy mirror on her play gym and she finally saw herself in the mirror. She talks to herself and smiles and it just melts my heart watching her do this. She has also started grabbing and reaching for things. She loves to pull on my shirt and pull those little hairs right on the nape of my neck. She also started to lift her head like she wants to sit up. She'll be leaning back on me and lift her head and throw herself forward. Before I know it, she'll be walking!!! Brooke loves the outdoors!! If she's upset and doesn't want to calm down, I'll walk outside and she'll immeditaley become calm and just look around. She loves her walks, although it's been very windy here for a couple weeks and it takes her breath away. Hopefully soon the wind will calm down so we can restart our walks!!! I watch Oprah a few week ago and listened to moms say how they lose themselves after having kids.  Sometimes I think that I didn't find myself until I had her. I love Motherhood!!
