After a lot of napping yesterday, and a decent sleep last night, my sore throat is almost gone, and I'm feeling less achy this morning. How could I not sleep well with Mr. Stannix snuggling me and making me feel safe? Camilla slept great, and woke up in the funniest mood ever. She can be such a clown sometimes. She had a banana for breakfast (she could eat a whole bundle to herself, that's how much she loves them) and her Bubba with warm 3% milk. I switched it the other day, she doesn't even miss her formula. Usually I do half and half. She is definitely turning into a porker and has gained some more weight in the past few days, I can tell just by picking her up. She is a lot more solid.
Today as I watched her play and giggled with her, I was hit with that "overwhelming love" feeling. It's hard to describe the feelings of love you have for your children. All I know, is that I love her more and more each day, if that's even possible. She brings me so much joy.
Last night, we watched "101 Dalmations" together. Apparently, she wasn't close enough to the screen, and pulled out her diaper wipes to stand on. She discovered she could reach so much more standing a little higher up. It was cute, I laughed out loud when I saw her. She is so full of life and giggles! She makes my day.
This morning, I was on the computer for a few minutes, and turned around to find her watching her cartoons with her hat on. She put it on allllll by herself. It was super cute. It also made me feel really guilty for not sitting on the floor and playing with her. I feel like I take her for granted sometimes, and that I spend too much time cleaning/getting things done/ on the computer and not enough time enjoying her. That makes me feel like a horrible Mum!! I need to make more time for her and enjoy her more, because she really is a joy, and makes me happy.
Her new favorite thing is to go to her snack cupboard and beg for treats/food. So, I'll hear her wimpering by the cupboard, and I'll tell her to "Say Please...." and she'll look up at the cupboard, look over to me, look down, look back to me and say "Pe....Peh". Then I go and get her a baby cookie for one hand, and she stands there and holds up her other hand, so she gets one for the other hand too. She then dances away stomping and giggling in excitement. It's great! Being a Mum is so rewarding. I love that she loves to sit at my feet wherever I am. I love when she runs up to me and wraps her arms around my legs. I love when she gives me her open mouthed kisses. I love when she runs up to me and says "up-a up" just because she wants a snuggle or some lovin'. It's awesome. I just hope I can be the Mum that she needs me to be, and that I want to be. Life couldn't be any better!!
