Today

Today (technically yesterday) was a special day. Carter has preschool on Thursdays (I need to post about that too). While he is gone it is supposed to be my "get things done while I only have one kid time." But, those two hours fly by and I usually don't get done what I want to. After I dropped Carter off I came home and gave Paige a snack. While I was at the stove cooking something I heard, "Mom." I turned naturally then realized Carter wasn't here. It was Paige that had said it! It made me so happy! It was probably just a jibber jabber but she still said Mom. And really, let's be honest. She is a mama's girl! When someone else is holding her and I walk into the room she leans towards me and is so happy when I pick her up. I love my little sweet girl!

After her snack she was in such a playful mood and I was happy to play with her. After we played I made her a bottle and she fell asleep in my arms. Paige is not cuddly at all. Not that she isn't sweet and loving, but because she is so BUSY! She constantly has to know what is going on all around her. After she fell asleep I only had 5 minutes until I had to pick Carter up but I cherished those five minutes of holding my sweet, warm, squishy, breathing baby. Sometimes I wonder if I hadn't lost Bridger if I would notice those moments, if I would appreciate them, or if I would even take the time to have them. I won't remember what didn't get done, but I will remember this moment forever.

Lastly, it was time for Paige to have her first haircut. Her bangs kept hanging in her eyes and she had this side piece that was way longer than the rest. I took her to my mom's house and we tried to put her in front of the bathroom mirror to entertain her because she LOVES mirrors. It was hard to trim her hair because, again, she is SO busy! My mom did a great job though and hopefully I can do more with it now.
