Blueberry Face

Sevryn loves Greek yogurt with blueberries

...and she's finally cutting a tooth at 10 months!

Finding the time

I'm taking this brief moment of silence in my household, while sweet Sevryn sleeps on my bed, looking so small, during her afternoon nap to write a quick post on my blog. I know how much so many readers have enjoyed reading my posts and following up on what's been going on, but for a little while longer, at least, this blog is still on the bottom of my list of priorities, since becoming a mama. For almost 11 months I have been present in every moment of Sevryn's life. I put this blog aside because I wanted to learn what it was like to never worry what anyone else was thinking of us. In our pajamas in the middle of the day, sitting in a messy house. At the park, with our real smiles. Nobody there to capture it or see it...just little flashes to save for her, one day. Trying my hardest to permanently imprint these moments on my heart to save for forever, because they DO grow up so fast! I know that one day, the little rolls of her legs will begin to fade and her tiny feet will grow to fit into little lady shoes. That she won't always fit so snugly in my lap for a nap, so I try to hold her as much as I can. She started walking at just 8 months old, and I know that every day, she moves farther and farther from that tiny, pink, wrinkly little newborn who I held as her lungs filled with oxygen for the very first time. These moments and memories happen just once in a lifetime, and I am doing everything I possibly can to do as many giggling twirls, tiny toe-nibbling, and butterfly kisses as a mother possibly can. There has been nothing more fulfilling in my life than being this beautiful girl's mother. Nothing has filled my heart more than when she wobbles on rounded, chubby feet towards me with arms spread open as far as they can reach, and collapses in giggles and squeals into my arms. So, I'm sorry, I really DO have the time to blog, but I just can't do it- I just can't tear myself away from this sweet baby girl!
