And Then She Was Three

Oh, dear me, how can it be that the long, skinny newborn of mine be three years already?

How can time pass so quickly?

I swear it was just yesterday that I stared down at her in my hospital bed, achy and medicated, feeling such a love and such a bond that it physically made it hard to breath.  I knew the first moment that I held her I would die for her without a second thought, no question.

And my, what a joy it has been to see her personality emerge.

Serious.  Inquisitive.  An old soul.  Slow to trust, but loyal.  Loving.  Thoughtful.  Stubborn.  Polite.  Funny.  The light of my life.

What an amazing baby toddler little girl that she is.

I am one lucky lady to be her mama.

Mary Margaret Elanor, your mama loves you to the moon and back and I love watching you grow.  My only prayer for you is happiness.  I pray everyday that you will chase your dreams and never doubt yourself because, my special girl, you can do anything you put your mind to.  Always know that your daddy and I are here for you.  Always.

And what a difference three years makes.  Her Birth Day:
