I’m usually the type of person that will say “I like the baby stage, but I LOVE when they’re preschoolers.” I don’t mind the baby stuff, but I always look forward to when they’re old enough to talk, walk, be independent and come up with the funniest sayings and ideas. Some downright mind boggling. But I have to admit, baby Alaina is slowly changing my mind . . . if not changing it, letting me appreciate the “baby stage” a lot more.
One of the best feelings in the world to me right now is her pudgy body against my chest, her soft skin beneath my hands, the sweet smell of baby which has the slightest hint of old milk. Even more is her wide, gummy smile with her chubby cheeks even chubbier . . . it melts my heart every time and I find myself doing stupid, silly things just to see another one or to hear her adorable little gurgled laugh or coo. She has got to be the happiest baby EVER. When I kiss her, I can’t seem to stop myself. She is currently adorned in several lipstick marks thanks to mom.
And thus, I had to share so my heart wouldn’t explode, just how much this little stinker has my heart. I still have a hard time grasping how incredibly fast they grow. I mean, if it weren’t for our video’s, I would’ve forgotten what Averie was like at this age. It seems eons ago, it was only 3 and a half years or so . . . time flies. I’ve got to cherish this baby before she’s a preschooler, and I’ll have to constantly remind myself of this despite the fact her wide, innocent eyes tickle every fiber of my being and make me smile no matter what kind of mood I’m in.
