I wonder
There's nothing new to tell or really worth telling as far as I go. I've done pretty good lately and am learning day by day to function and get used to having just one little one to care for. I don't have a lot of idle time to sit and mope. Little miss Abby keeps me pretty busy! lol I don't know what I would do without her. Her smile keeps me going every day. I swear she gets more beautiful, precious, sweet and smart by the minute.
This week she's learned to slap her hand/arm like there's no tomorrow. It's a great source of entertainment to her and she finds it hilarious. She smacks everything and the same motion is also used as a wave. I can walk in the room and wave at her and she will grin and happily beat her excersaucer, highchair tray, knee, whatever's available. She's trying so hard to talk and will gab and babble for hours while she plays. Of course her daddy is thrilled because during the last couple of days she's learned to say "da-da". It's absolutely adorable. She'll say it and then smile really big. She's so proud of herself.
I know this isn't much of a blog but I wanted to let you all know that we're doing okay. I'm tired, emotionally, mentally and physically, but I guess that's expected. Believe it or not I'm getting more excited little by little about Christmas. Not for myself, but for Abby and Chris. I love to give presents and watch loved one's faces when they open a gift that I know they'll love or be surprised about. That's my favorite part of the gift giving season....not getting gifts but giving them and watching my family's reactions. I can't wait to see Abby on Christmas morning. She's going to be so cute now that she notices EVERYTHING new and is really getting into toys and anything that makes noise.
As good as a Christmas we'll have here I can't help but imagine what Christmas will be like for Faith. Can you imagine? I mean, think of all the lights and decorations we have here on earth to celebrate Jesus' birthday and how beautiful the decorations can be. Now imagine being in Heaven and what the decorations and festivities there must be like. I mean, Faith gets to celebrate Jesus' birthday WITH HIM. I bet the decorations and heavenly lights up there are far beyond anything that we could imagine or even try to do here on earth. As my sister said a couple of weeks ago "Lu, can you just imagine what Heaven's Christmas decorations look like? Holy Cow! I mean they get to celebrate with the man himself! What a party that must be!!" lol She's right. Faith will have the best Christmas over any of the rest of us. I'm happy for her but God do I miss my baby. I wonder what she's doing right now? I wonder if she remembers me or thinks about her mommy? Now that she can talk I wonder what the first thing she'd want to say to me would be? I wonder what her favorite thing to do is? I wonder if she thinks about me as often as I think about her?
Merry Christmas sweet angel. Mommy misses you sooo much and I love you even more.
I think you are absolutely right about Faith! How lucky and blessed she is! Christmas will be so fun with our JB's. As I wrap the big kids presents, Kaley is throwing a temper tantrum because I won't let her eat the paper!! Silly goose!! I can't wait!!
Make sure you post pictures!!
Have a Wonderful Christmas!!
Michele and Kaley
