While I haven't blogged here in a while,
I wanted to write a short post about Vivian being two.
Vivian turned two last month and it was like a switch turned and all of a sudden she was a toddler.
For example..
She's started talking a lot, we can have short conversations most of the time.
She has pretty epic melt downs and everyday I think "this is it.. what everyone warns you about..",
wrong. It gets worse.
She is getting sneaky and is figuring out how to work the system (think fake crying and opening one eye to see if your looking/reacting).
…and yet she is getting even sweeter than I ever thought possible.
I'll bump into her while walking and she says "sahee".
She will kiss each scrape and bruise and after tell you that it's "ahhl bet"
Her smile…?!! The cheesiest little grin in the world, and it's uniquely her.
After nursing in the middle of the night I'll roll away from her and she moves in closer to spoon me, my mama heart has secretly come to need that in order to sleep.. sometimes I eagerly await her "maaaaa" cry in the middle of the night so I can sleep until morning with her.
She is exhausting, exhilarating, charming, challenging…
& lovely in every single way.
Vivian Alexandra Sommer,
I can not believe that you are ours forever.
My life changed in so many ways the day you were born.
You saved me.
I will spend the rest of my life showing you just how grateful I am for that.
Love you always,
Mommy
