we've been watching lucy grow from the day that we brought her home from the hospital and from not being able to hold up her head to sitting on her own to now crawling… in circles… crawling none the less we knew that it was going to happen in the blink of an eye, but looking back through old pictures is unreal and almost heartbreaking. my big toots was such a teeny tiny little toots! now she feeds herself and thinks it's funny when she pulls my hair… even when i sternly tell her, "no, that hurts momma"… that's normal right? and not a signs of news headlines to come, right??
SO!!
knowing that this time was going to fly, i wanted to visibly document her growth and so i've been taking pictures of lu next to her kitty and gotdamn! this is my bitty baby at two weeks old.. dimple and all <3
awwwww! she's not much bigger than kitty! and those teeny, tiny legs and those teeny, tiny toes and those teeny, tiny every things! guh. kill me now i'm in love.
and here's toots just last weekend at seven months old:
oh my word. i'm meeeelllllting!
my big baby! it really is astonishing. she still feels like my little baby, but then looking at these pictures and seeing the amount that she's grown… it's exciting, it's sad, it's fun, it's scary, it's so many different things, but mostly, it's an honor. it's an honor to be given the responsibility of raising this sweet little thing into an independent, caring, loving, strong, funny, amazing woman. wow.
how cool is that?
