I have been with her every day of her life, and yet somehow I am not able to wrap my mind around how she went from this:
To this:
She was so tiny and helpless. We spent hours at a time holding her and even more time just looking.
How is it that we were completely head over heals in love with her when she looked like that? We didn't know how sweet it was to get a kiss and cuddle from her. We had never heard her laugh. She had never scrunched up her little nose, or so adorably taken care of her baby dolls. Said "mommy" or "daddy", looked up and said, "down, down" (which means both up and down), or laid her little keppie on my shoulder. Somehow this little girl has been the love of our life since day one and probably before. Every night we lay her down to sleep knowing that she will be one day older when she wakes. She will be able to do something or say something new. Life will be a little different every day.
I'm panicked. I'm excited. It's going by too fast.

What a great post. A good reminder for me as I sit here thinking I'll be pregnant forever and already fast forwarding to when I'll have a toddler and how much fun we'll have. Maybe I ought to live in the now!
I loved reading your post too. It really is amazing how fast time flies. Praise the Lord for each day with a healthy beautiful little girl. I don't do it enough.
