My little one is taking steps! She took 10 steps on February 1st, a snow day, and her Daddy's 25th birthday! It was a special day indeed--and Mommy was home to see it! HOORAY! This month also marks the first ear infection and significant cold she's caught. I, of course, brought it home to her. Boo. She's teething like crazy--6 teeth now, and got another bout of diaper rash. She's having a rough time! She is babbling and gurgling, loves making funny faces, and can put things in a box, take them out, hand them to you, and put them back in the box. She can roll a ball to you, and laughs when you make funny faces as her. Currently, she likes rolling her umbrella stroller back and forth in the house. She is a great eater. Among her more unusual foods includes: avocados, tofu, kiwi, and Daddy's homemade French Bread. She tries most things--I hope that continues!
Yes, I still tear up dropping her off at her caregivers' some mornings. Don't get me wrong, she loves all her caregivers and doesn't seem the least bit fazed that I'm leaving. She knows it's just a part of the day now. Last week was particularly rough since she wasn't feeling well. Some mornings when that alarm goes off, I wonder how I am going to get up, get myself ready, wake her up, feed her, get her ready, go downstairs get ourselves both breakfast, load the bags in the car, get her loaded in the car, drop her off, say good-bye, leave her, then head to work myself, prepare for the day, and greet 23 smiling 7-year-olds. But I always do it and it's not so bad. And most people in the world, have FAR MORE challenging mornings than that, so my complaining ends right here.
I do hope God has a plan for next year. I have decided to stop trying to open doors myself and let him open them for me. I know he will. I just need to be patient and keep praying. I have such a beautiful family. I am so blessed.
