At the moment solid food is just another daily habit, rolling around ALL OVER the floor is too, and the days of Willow lying peacefully in a swing or even under her playgym are well passed, and fading in my memory banks.
I laughed once at B telling someone about movie we watched once, how one of the characters has an old spiral library in is brain, filled with box upon box of stored information. When he needed to store something new, something old had to be replaced. I now don't think it's funny, but a real depiction of what is happening in this mumma's brain!
I take photos to help me remember and even though only 6mths have passed since her birth, I find it hard to remember just how small and utterly dependent upon me she was, how dependent any of my three were.
Piper now gets her own breaky, though finds it hard to eat it with her FOUR top front teeth missing. And Soren, who was my huggy baby, will snuggle only when no one else is home or out of bed and is so independent that he'll struggle with something for 1/2 an hour before asking for help. These are just a couple of the things my big two do for themselves, independently, with out my help or input.
I don't find myself waiting for the next 'achievement' from Willow, rather I am enjoying every thing she does without waiting and hoping for this time to pass and a new thing to happen.
Right now, as I snuggle next to her in the spare bed in her room, and she makes kissy noises at me at 530am on a Saturday morning, I laugh and I cry just a little at the beauty of the moment.
I don't want to miss a thing, yes it's a cheesy line from a cheesy love song, but I mean it! I am enjoying these moments, and I hope you read this and do the same in your own life. Don't miss a thing, don't wait for something else, enjoy what is happening now, be present in your present!
