This month has gone by so quickly, just like the rest. Each day you amaze me with how much you grow, how much you learn…just you being here pushes me to always have a positive outlook in life no matter how bad things may seem. You truly are my sunshine.
September is often bittersweet because it is the end of Summer, but the beginning of Fall or Autumn – either way, it has become my favorite season! Just as you grow and change everyday, so do the seasons of this earth and of our lives. The only difference is that we will always have another winter, another summer, another fall and another spring and for the most part they will be predictable, but with you, not so much. As you grow you will change and no one season will ever be the same with you. Next September you won’t be eight months, you’ll be sixteen months. I will not have a little baby crawling on the floor following me around, rather I will have a tiny toddler taking steps towards me, maybe even running. Like I said, it is bittersweet. I look forward to seeing you blossom into a beautiful girl, but at the same time it will break my heart to see my baby slowly become more independent of her mother.
One thing is for sure, as you grow and as the seasons change is that I love you now and I will love you always. My love for you will grow with you. I wish to look back on these days and remember them so clearly in my mind. There is so much to take in and I cry at the thought of not remembering every little thing you do to make me laugh, smile and just stare in amazement. However, instead of thinking into the future, I remind myself to relish in the present and tell you how crazy you make me, how much I love you, I hug you and kiss you and make you laugh and giggle. It’s the best thing ever!
You make life so much more fun and exciting! It’s only been eight months but you have changed so much, and in many ways, you have changed me, more than you know. Every time I think it can’t get any better than this, you always surprise me! I thank God for blessing me with you everyday…I love you Pinky!
Happy Fall Baby Girl – we are going to have so much FUN!
Love Always,
Mommy
