Temple, she looks up to her big sis so much. She will wake up in her crib, fussing, but if Selah goes in there, Temple is immediately cheerful. Her personality and laugh get bigger everyday. Aaron and I do anything we can to hear that laugh, it comes gurgling, bubbling out, and gets us all laughing. I had her hair cut on Friday. At first I panicked, almost in tears, thinking that her crazy hair was part of her crazy personality. Alas, it is a day later, and I have come to love her pixy, elvish little look. It makes her eyes look even bigger, and you can see her beautiful face. She is such a cuddly baby, but she also takes off speed crawling when you set her down, laughing all the way. She challenges the cat a lot lately, always interested in her bowls of food and water. Knowing that she has a rough time coming up ahead of her with the surgery, Aaron and I just fall all over her with kisses and cuddles, wanting to hold onto time. Perhaps we can just fill her up with enough love and strength that she will sail through this and still be our happy chuckling baby when it's all over. I know she will be fine, but I still squeeze her just a little extra, let her linger in our bed just a little longer.
the days with both my girls are precious. I love them both to pieces, and i pray for them both, that God is watching over them, holding them tight, that the days will melt like steel in my mind, soft but strong memories of these days when they are young.
