kind of sparkly
kind of sassy
kind of stripey (election day!)
kind of cozy
kind of sleepyLittle wakes up at least once every night looking for her "sassy" (pacifier). and since i am having increasing trouble leaning over her crib with my huuuuge belly, i was actually grateful last night when she refused to go back to sleep unless i took her into the living room and slept with her on the couch. feeling her little hands explore my face in the night (to make sure i was still there?) and catching sweet whiffs of her blankie--which, i am not kidding you, smells exactly like my childhood blankie--are seriously the very reasons i became a mother.

Aww. That was a sweet little post.
"...her little hands..." So, so sweet. These pictures are precious.
I like the stripey socks, too. I think if you clicked your heels together, you could go to Oz.
Kind of the best post I've read in a long time!
kind of love it.
To say it the way it is felt, a gift to be desired. Thank you for always capturing in words the way the most sacred things in life are experienced. I always want to say, "that's it! me too!" Me too.
You give me hope that this new baby thing gets better. Mmmm...baby blues anyone???
The smell I love the most is my baby's breath - it is the sweetest smell in the world and I want to eat him up everytime.
paiger -- so nice of you to drop by! i miss you. loved the good news about eddie on your last post.
michele -- i know! i just feel bad ally has to smell my breath when i get up close to her.
cheryl -- it DOES get better. 80% of women get baby blues to some extent and it can last several weeks. keep an eye on it, though, and email me in a month if you're still feeling blue. (or sooner if you just want to blubber on the phone a bit.)
kind of amazing.
is that picture in the mirror ally or a missing palin child?
Too sweet. Elyza is finally going to bed on her own without having to have me right there with a fistful of my hair in her hands. Heaven. She has become a bit more cuddly since and now I get hugs and kisses all the day long. Precious.
awww... seeing all those photos just makes me want to curl up in my own footsie pjs
i like the something stripy.
