So yesterday was my birthday, which is more commonly known as Valentines Day and this year kind of felt different than any other year. I have so much love for my family, more than I think my heart has felt before. The love I have for my husband Jim just grows so much day by day {which I didn't think was possible since I love him beyond words as it is} and in addition to all the feelings I have for him I also have an exuberant amount of love for my daughter, Mikaella. I guess I didn't know my capacity for love but it's really sinking in the older I get. And to add to things, we have just found out that we are having a little girl :) I am so excited to know that there is another cute little sweetie in my tummy and my feelings for her have also started to evolve. I can only imagine what my heart will be like in 12 mths from now once we have met "Little Miss Baby2k" and get to know the person that she is. I also feel so fortunate to truly love my parents and brothers, they are so exceptional.
This picture is of Mikaella and her best bud, Raquel. They are 3 days apart in age and really enjoying being together. The older they get the more affectionate they become and I just love it. Raquel is such a sweet little girl and I'm so happy that Mikaella already at this young of an age, has a friend that I'm sure will be in her life for a long time. She is already learning how to love a friend and be sweet to one another. Raquels Mom is Jacqueline {who is also an amazing person!} and her and I share a lot of similar parenting styles and love to teach the girls to share, hold hands and to be kind to one another. I'm so curious as time goes on, to see they types of girls they grow into and to see how their friendship forms.
There are so many sweet, loving, tender moments that Mikaella has over the course of the day. From here on out, I'll be referring to them as "CMM" {Cute Mikaella Moments} Here are a few things that are top of mind:
- When we tuck her in at night, right before she's about about to fall asleep {this is after, bath time, story time, jam jams, and teeth brushing} she curls up with her blankets that Gramma has made her and right before you leave her room, this little voice says, "Bye!" It is too cute for words. She is not upset about her day coming to an end and is simply saying Good Night to us :)
- She loves to receive Eskimo Kisses! When we are cuddling before bed, she pushes her nose up to mine and waits for me to wiggle my nose back & forth and then does her sign language for "more."
- Mikaella is also understanding when to say, "uh oh" and has it really well timed for when she falls or drops anything
- She also loves to give you a big hug and tap your back as she is in your embrace
