…I love you.

We call her ladybug, among a thousand other beautiful nicknames.  So when I saw this costume, I had to do my best to be the mama ladybug – afro and all.  I think we pulled it off nicely at a recent Halloween party.

I don’t know about her but I was the happiest ladybug in all the land.

I’m missing my wings in this picture but I’ll have them on for Halloween for sure!

We’ve passed the 25th so she’s officially 4 months old.  I have the mouse picture and I’ll post it later but you’d die at how big she’s getting.  And she’s smart!  SO smart!  She’s grabbing and using her fingers.  She’s talking like crazy – but unfortunately only baby dinosaurs know what secrets she’s telling.  She kicks her feet and for the most part, she’s just a really happy girl.  We are blessed.

She sat in her new high chair tonight and I swear I could see her at 3 years old.  We also got a Jenny Jumper and so far, it’s a hit.  She isn’t quite sure what to do in it but every time it bounces, she laughs.  I love her.  We all do.

Tonight, as we were catching up on Glee, C & I looked down at her with the same expression of pure joy.  She’s the miracle we’ve waited for.

Bliss.
