My little babies

My dear little Maggie, you are sound asleep right now.  I should be but between you and your brother I’m still awake.  How did I know that I would love a little person so much as I love you and Garrett.  You are both so perfect and I would love just to freeze time and keep you right where you are.  I love our happy little family.  Today we took you with us so dad could drop off some cows.  You where so happy in your little boots and little coat, your warm little pink hat and rosey little cheeks.  You ran after us in as darling little way as you can imagine and hurried to climb the fence.  Your life is so rich and full; everyday you are learning new things.  I need to quit caring so much if my house is cleaned and worry more about making sure that YOU know YOU are the very most important thing in my life.  Of anything that Heavenly Father ever gave me, being a mom is my greatest blessing.  You are so funny right now; you have a little pouting game that if you don’t get your way you get pretty upset with your dad and I.  You have bit Garrett several times over the last few days, you’re a little jealous to say the least.  You spilled a half a box of Raisin Brand on the floor so that you could pick out the raisins tonight.  I love your little mischief hair that is sticking straight out or up it’s a little on the wild side like you.  You are my sweetheart, my mess maker, my kisser, my little love bug, my world.  I’m crying just a little right now because of how big you are getting it seems like the days are flying by and you are not my little baby anymore you are my little girl…. I pray you will always have that spunk in your eyes, the little mischief and sparkle that twinkle every time you smile.  Don’t let anyone ever dull that, it’s my very favorite thing about you love bug.  I’m scared to death to teach you all that you need to know, this world is so big and even scary to me more often then not.  Be strong, stand up for what you know is right, and don’t ever give into what’s wrong.  My dad and your grandfather always told me, wickedness was never happiness, it’s not.  Now of I can just teach you all that you need to know.

You are in LOVE with your dad:) It makes his whole day to come home to you.  You are so happy when he walks in the door and you are his little shadow until it’s time to go to bed.  He loves you so much; you do no wrong in his eyes.

You love Garrett, to the point you can’t leave him alone, you climb in his swing, his carseat, on the bed, the couch, anyplace you can to get to him.  You hold his hand, you sing to him, and you love to hold him.  You only bite him when you are very jealous. 

You love to go to see Grandpa Griswold, he adores you and you know it!

Right now you are sure that every box that comes to the door is a present to you, you get so excited and your little face lights up with glee, I just wish I could capture it and put it in a bottle for a rainy day so that I could pull a little of your happiness out.

You are about through with naps, I wish not because we are both happier when you take one:) You took one today:)

You LOVE shoes and pretty much anything that is new.  You try on everyone’s shoes and you love, love, love new clothes.  You love to paint your toenails, by yourself of course and your dad has let you paint his on more than one occasion.

I’m going to go to bed now my little pumpkin pie, and hold you as tight as I can.  You still sleep with us but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  My favorite times have been having you close to us.  Your dad loves story time I think more than anytime of the day. 

Garrett love, right now you are focused mainly on eating and sleeping, you love to be held and you are the perfect baby as long as I am holding you.  You have terrible gas; you giggled in your sleep the other night and really your just turning into a little person.  I love you.  Today you fell asleep, I’m always in such a rush for the two of you to settle down and I thought you know what, before I know it these days will be gone, I just sat there and enjoyed rocking my little babies.  I breathed you in and loved you both.

I love you my little Miss Maggie, I love you too little Garrett.  I wish I could keep you both my little babies forever.

Goodnight love bugs, love

Your mom
