Oh, my sweet little pea, Kira, where do I even begin talking about you? There has been so much change in you in the past month that I almost want to say that you're such a big girl now, but you're not. You're the same tiny sweet baby girl that I brought home from the hospital 4 months ago and you always will be. You polished your rolling skills and now that's all you want to do the moment I put you down. Speaking of putting you down, most of the time you don't mind sitting in the pumpkin seat when I am cooking in the kitchen and watching me (I bet you're going to be a good helper some day) or eating a meal but the moment I spread my arms towards you, you are wiggling and smiling with excitement and anticipation of being picked up. Mommy's arms are your favorite place to spend time. You most definitely know who I am by now and if there is a major tragedy in your life like you're getting tired, or just feel lonely, or anything else, I am the only person who can make things right. Your crying turns into smiles when I hold and kiss you. You're getting better and better at using your hands and fingers, reaching for toys... and dragging them into your mouth. I wonder if you're teething or it's just the stage. You love your pacifier, that's probably your second best friend now. You're very vocal, you make all sorts of noises. Sometimes it almost feels like you want to take part in a conversation. You're fascinated by small prints, bright colors, dolls, and your big brother. Though he's giving you a hard time at times you still greet him with a big smile when he storms into the room and jumps on the bed where you've been sleeping. You're a very smiley girl. I dare to say there is no bigger joy than waking up to my face being touched by a your soft tiny hand and seeing your smile the first thing in the morning, or falling asleep with your little hand in mine. ~Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up...~
