7 Months

Wow. It's already here and I'm left sitting here wondering how it happened so soon. I savor these moments and wouldn't mind being frozen in time. Elaina is now 7 months. The past six months have been a whirlwind. She started eating babyfood, sitting unsupported and giggling as though there was a comedian in the room. She's just the sweetest baby and I'm so glad she's mine. Eleighsa told me that she talked to Elaina and asked her if she'd stay little, Elaina agreed. Somehow we don't think Elaina is holding up her end of the bargain. She's growing, matter of fact she's huge. We're in the midst of a clothing crisis because of this. Elaina has flown 2340 miles in a month, still has hair that resembles Charlie Brown and is entirely toothless. I am in awe and utterly speechless. So much happens so soon, if you blink you'll miss it. One day I'll wake up and will not be able to remember some of the details. The small things that touch your heart and allow your thoughts to linger. Like the way she cannot stand to have her feet covered by anything. With all of her power and might she'll fight off every sock and blanket. She'll kick until she cannot kick anymore. Or the way her face turns as red as a lobster as she presses her chin to her chest creating a triple chin when she gets mad. They say life flashes before your eyes...make it worth watching. This is worth watching. Happy 7th month Miss Elaina!
