you're gonna miss this...

when you have your first child 

and seasoned veteran parents

tell you that you will 

miss these days

don't roll your eyes

huff and puff in your mind

and think how could you miss

those nights where precious sleep was lost

and nerves were worn thin

just smile and grin

because in just a few short weeks

you to will realize the importance 

of those words

they understood that newborns to quickly 

become infants and toddlers

and that time literally evaporates

in the blink of an eye

doodle is now 5 months old (well, almost.) it's scary how fast she's grown

this is her first photo shoot for mommy's crochetlove. she was happy at first

but it quickly turned into a littly bit of fussyness

then full out pissed mode 

then she fell asleep

these really made me what to cry... because when we brought her home she was so tiny

i was so scared for her to be in her car seat,

which seemed to swallow her whole

i was terrified to bathe her because 

she was so fragile and little

scared for her to sleep anywhere other than next to me

because what if she stopped breathing?

she had to be close

because something this sweet 

just needs to be cherished

and loved

and loved

and loved

and hugged

and snugged

and loved

because she's an angel

even when she's upset and mad

she's an angel and she's mine

this is my little girl

my namesake 

parts of me

the best parts

this is my daughter

and no matter how quickly she grows

i will cherish every moment
