She is 100% cheeks. I can't help but gush when she shines that toothy little grin, it makes this mama's heart just melt to pieces. Toddlerhood has been such a strange and fascinating age, nothing I could have really prepared myself for. There are days that are incredibly exhausting (like seriously kid how could you have so much energy?!) but I wouldn't change one bit of it. Sometimes, all I need is to take a step back and just remind myself to relax. And as cheesy as it is, I find myself letting that Trace Atkins song play in the back of my head saying, "you're gonna miss this."
Even if in the moments of chaos I may scoff at that notion, I know deep down it's true and it makes me overwhelming sentimental (pregnancy hormones don't help either). My baby girl is growing up justlikethat. She reaches for my hand to hold and when she falls the only thing that cures her ouchies is a kiss from mama. I don't always understand her babbling stories but I always make an effort to try because her big hazel eyes stare at me with such spirit that I am desperate to understand, to know what transpires in that little mind of her's.
