hazel is my adorable, sometimes unwilling companion throughout the day... and i love it. as i'm breezing through target today, she starts making this funny sound frantically and trying to get my attention. i ask her what it is she needs, but she just keeps making this funny noise and gesturing towards the shelf. finally, i get it. she is saying "whooooo! whoooo!" to let me know there is a teeny tiny owl on top of that candle. each day i am struck by all that she is soaking in, even though she isn't much of a talker still. {she inherited her dad's quiet nature, rather than my boisterous one...} she is so much fun all the time and i am really loving this motherhood thing these days.
don't get me wrong, there are things that totally stink. like fighting each mealtime to get her to eat what i've put in front of her {our nutrition has lapsed a little bit since i hate putting up a fight}. but she is so hilarious and happy and loves to explore the world around her. right now she is bounding a little ball on the coffee table. so easily entertained.
i hope every day to be a little bit of a better mother to her. that is one thing that stinks about motherhood. you never feel good enough, you never feel like you are doing things right. but when i look at my little girl, my heart just bursts. so i pray every night that even though i'm not sure what in the heck i am doing, that the things i am doing will be enough.
