My friend Sarah said to me last night, referring to Ella "This is the age when it got fun". I couldn't agree more! I remember feeling at 2 months like I could do this (this being parenting), at 6 months that I could really enjoy doing this, and now at 9 months I feel like I could maybe even, some day, do this again! Don't worry, it won't be any time soon. My point is that this whole "mommy thing" just keeps getting better and better. Her smile brightens my whole day, her laugh makes me forget about every thing going on around me, her cries (few and far between) break my heart, and her cuddles (also few and far between) make me want to stop time.
