The First of Many

Little knees always seem to get in the way. Yesterday was Mandy's first cut on her knee. We were outside playing and she was running on the driveway. She slipped and fell. She didn't cry but looked shocked, looked at me, looked at her knee and pointed to it quite outraged. During that moment, as a mom, you get a glimpse of what type of person your child will become and wonder how many boo boo's she going to have in her little life. Immediately your mind starts running thinking that is the first time her skin was broken. That brand new skin born not 2 years ago. That skin that was created by our creator with a perfection. What will that little leg see and do? Will she climb mountains, jump out of a plane? Will she dance? Will she run? Will she bounce her baby on her once chubby little boo boo knee? Only time will tell and all time heals wounds.

Crinkles on the Nose

Mandy has been such an incredible blessing! She is getting so big and now is acting much more like a toddler than a baby! Where has the time gone? There are many things about Mandy I love one of which is her unrelenting smile. She always has a smile on her face. She flashes her two dimples, crinkles her nose and giggles. Life is a piece of pie all the time for her. Oh to be that innocent and young! The most important things for her is her mommy, daddy, pj (her doll), her blanket and of course any sort of ball! With those life is grand and nothing can go wrong. Without them she cries bitter tears. Security is important to my crinkly smiley girl! Amen for her!
