It has been awhile since any of us have written. Between work, school, and life times just slipped by. My part of the family added a new addition a month ago. The Tiny Tornado acquired a little sister who she tells us on a daily basis is her baby. At a month old she hasn't yet earned herself a nickname but I am sure she will work on it.
It had been less than two years since the tornado was a new baby but it is easy to forget things. Things like new babies eat every 2 to 3 hours and don't care what else you have planned. That they don't really enjoy pooping and will tell you all about it as loud as they can. That 2 AM is a great time to have a long discussion about the joys of sleeping that they won't listen to. Things like how fragile they seem in that first moment you hold them. Things like how much you can be in love with someone the very first time you see them. Things like wanting to never let them go and not wanting to share. Even knowing how quickly these moments go and wanting to remember them forever I know I will forget some things. So every day I take a moment to smell her head, kiss her little nose and cherish her voice. Even if that voice is yelling that lunch is 10 minutes late and she has a wet diaper. I guess that is my cue to snuggle again. Oh darn.
