To my Makeila

To my Makeila (21 months),

I have to tell you or anyone that will listen that today I realized that I have too much to tell you.  I am way passed due with writing to you.  So here it goes my love...

Today we left early to Grandma's house and you made me play the Disneyland soundtrack the whole way.  I had Pirates of the Caribbean song on repeat...really.  YOU honestly have the sweetest character.  When we get to Grandma's house you greet everyone with a "hi, how are you?" and "morning, morning".  The most shocking words that have yet to come out of your mouth besides "oh shit" happened while I was making you lunch.  I was cooking one of your faves..white rice and you clearly said "mom, mom..your beautiful".  I was and am still in such awe of my little girl.

Makeila, you are such an intelligent little lady.  I honestly believe you are already an old soul.  Sounds funny but it is true.  I joke with everyone that you are a southern belle.

I look forward to writing to more to you.  Kisses my love.

It is never too late to blog

Today Makeila, Robert, and I attended our good friends' bbq and it was a great time as always. Makeila was so excited to see one of her bestfriend's Derek. They played together in his new playset with a slide that she loved.

While talking with my friend who is pregnant and going to give birth very soon, I came to a realization that it is not too late to start recording anything and everything about our lives with Makeila. She and I were talking about how love to check out all the creative blogs and I was telling her how she should and could do a blog for her baby. I said that I had wanted to that so bad but didn't the first year of Makeila's life. She told "Jessica it's not too late, you can start now". So here I am..typing while Makeila is asleep at 10pm. This is the perfect time for a mom to start because I have so much to share. Robert is at work and she is asleep for the night, this is the only good time for me to start. Tune in...
