Blowing Bubbles

I think the best thing about being a mom is watching your kids discover things for the first time. For example, watching your daughter realize that blowing air into a straw can create the neatest matrix of air and milk and listening to her squeal in delight is the best thing ever.  Even though she was making a mess of herself and of her dinner, I couldn't make myself take the cup away because she was having such a great time.

Every day I feel so lucky that I'm her mom.  That I get to watch her grow and discover all these new things.  I constantly am finding myself saying "remember this moment".

Tonight Eden and I took a walk down the block.  She just walked in front of me and pointed out everything she knew.  Tree, doggie, kitty, car, truck like daddy, airplane, windy, love mommy, and the songs she sings which I don't know the words to.  She's growing up so fast I can't help but wanting to spend every waking moment with her so I don't miss a thing.  Have I told you lately that I LOVE this little girl?!
