I've come to the realization in the past few months, that my next few years are full of Baby Puke, Poopy pants and the discovery of new things when it comes to our daughter.
Having started so young with my first two ( now 19 and 13 respectively ) I never really found the joy in raising a child like I do with Maranda. Everyday, I discover the up's and down's of watching her grow and the discoveries she makes while doing so. And I have to admit, it's fun to watch.
From finding her little hands, to standing at the sofa every evening using her voice - I find it simply amazing at what she can do, how much she has accomplished, and honestly, how much I truly enjoy every moment with her..
She wakes up every morning with a smile on her face, she greets her mommy everyday with an even BIGGER smile when she gets home in the evenings, and let's us know when she's had enough for one day, and how she tells us she's ready to go " nite nite "
These little moments, I vaguely remember from raising my first two. I think that's why I truly enjoy them, and notice every little momentous achievement she makes. It's truly fun to watch everything that she does, and how easily she discovers new things everyday.
Parenting is a LOT of work, but for the most part we are VERY blessed with having such a wonderful little girl. For the first three months, we wanted to take her back to the hospital, and trade her in for a new one - but, after the adjustment period, I think we adjusted very well.
Now, we are into the Puke, and Poop stage.... Everything she eats makes her puke, the more we feed her, the more she poops - and there's a HUGE difference in the old school " Runny " ones as oppposed to the new, and not so improved " solid, big people " ones - - OMG. It's enough to gag a maggot on a gut wagon.....
I suppose it's her way of showing us as parents - Discovery :-)
