sixteen months ago

cami was born. wow. 16 mos. already. it's so crazy how quickly time goes. and even more so with the second child!

see the difference?

i'm truly and completely taken with her. she is the sweetest little thing. the way she smiles at me all the time. the way she looks at me from across the room and just stays put and says "mama, mama, mama" like she's saying "i love you." she's a great balance to the attitude of a growing 5-year old.

god is good. he knew i would want cami once i had her. he knew he had to make her extra special. extra sweet. extra loving. extra snuggly.

extra cami.

i pray for her heart. that when she's 16 years old, rather than 16 months old, that her heart is as loving, sweet and snuggly as it is now. that it is as much in love with god then, as she is with me now.

cami. alaina. my girls. then. and now.

  1. Your girls are precious indeed. Jason says all the time how he hopes we have children like Alaina and Cami. He is truly smitten with Alaina.(mostly because she can talk to him) He enjoys being around her and watching her interact with him and others. He so hopes to have a little girl someday to wrap around his little finger. In God's timing- right!!

  2. Okay...sniff...sniff! You brought a tear to my eye! The funny thing is I can completely relate to everything you said. My biggest hope is that Olivia can hold onto the happiness that is in her heart right now. If only they could stay at this age forever.

  3. Now you know how Mom and I were thinking when you were that age.
