Don't Blink

Note to all mommies: Don't Blink
Ok, if the silent reminder fails then post a sticky note everywhere with "Don't Blink, Don't Blink, DON'T BLINK!!!"
Still not finding the pause button on your dearest ones? Well, when you find the trick let me know! I've been trying to find the secret button to pausing HS and LD since they were born.

Yesterday was LD's 7th month of enjoying life outside the womb. It is hard to believe that she is a mere 5 months away from her 1st birthday! How did that happen? So before she decides to turn 17 on us before we blink again, here's the list of her favorites and greatest moments at this point:
Favorite Foods: greenbeans (sorry TT!), squash (much to my chagrin!), bananas Toys: Lucien the Rabbit, Mr. Eli, and her excersaucer (hasn't seen this since the beginning of June)
Sounds: "WOWYA", "Mama", raspberries with lots of slavia in them
Moments: Pool time (can't resist the water she loves to splash and watch her big brother), Meals, Snuggle time with Mommy, Rolling around the Floor (watch out, she can get anywhere!)
Everyday her personality continues to shine a little more. We have been having a great time watching her as she changes and find ourselves wanting to find that magical pause button, but so far, God hid it well! Happy 7th Month Milestone, princess! I'm trying not to blink!

Dear One,

If you think you cannot blink now at 30 something, you just wait until you reach my almost ripe older age...There is no STOP button in the Lord's time!

The time will continue to go faster than you can imagine...savor each moment as a treasure (even the "bad" ones are treasures!)

That country song "Don't Blink" really chokes me up, because it is SO true. Somehow, my little seven-month-old daughters turned into 22 and 16 year olds. My sweet little boy is now 20 years old. Twenty!
It seems like just last month I was feeding him strained carrots.

I enjoy reading your blog! The music is especially nice.
