The Little One is turning 8 months tomorrow! It's true what they say . . . Children grow up fast. Sometimes it scares me that she is growing up too fast that I won't be able to keep up.
It only seems like yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital. She was so tiny that I was afraid to carry her (and to give her a bath! Haha!) Time flew so fast and as I look at her today, she still sleeps through the night (Thank God!), can hold her bottle, drinks from the cup (we skipped the sippy cup stage), sits upright, crawls a lot, tries hard to stand up, just learned to say "Mama" and she is just curious about everything. Every sound she hears and everything she sees or touches is a source of wonder for her.
Yes Little One, it's a big world out there and it's waiting for you.
All parents only wish the best for their children. I would like to share with you a song by Rascal Flatts entitled "My Wish". Just looking at the lyrics makes me emotional . . . the song just captured everything we wish for her.
To our dearest Little One, this song is for you. . . .
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big
