Haddie's Obstacle Course

Funny funny little child. This morning, after her nice early 6 am bottle, I was trying to stay awake and was on the computer. I glanced over at her grunting, and was lucky enough to have my camera near. She was crawling through the bottom shelf of a little wooden stand thing I have by my front door. It made my early morning worth it!!

She has also conquered crawling through the coffee table. She is walking around the furniture, and getting braver with every step! Twice she has been caught splashing in the toilet (yes I know, my fault!)She loves to flush the toilet, and unroll the paper. Phew. And P-U!!

This is a section from an email I received. A mother is talking about her daughter starting a family, and what she wants to tell her...

"I want to assure her that eventually she will shed the pounds of pregnancy, but she will never feel the same about herself. That her life, now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she would give herself up in a moment to save her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years, not to accomplish her own dreams, but to watch her child accomplish theirs. I want her to know that a cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become badges of honor."

I can't tell you how much I value every day with this little crazy angel, and how much it means to me that she is loved and cherished by those who I love and cherish. It's amazing what a baby symbolizes, and helps people with. Even getting out of bed to make a bottle when it's still dark outside!!
