How can it be 8 months since my baby girl arrived, where has the time gone?

8 months ago I had a huge bump and was dying to meet her.

She arrived all little with wrinkly skin like an old lady and that gorgeous baby smell. All ten teeny tiny fingers and toes present and correct, long sparrow legs that she curled up under her and a cute little baby bottom. Her lips would move in her sleep as if she was dreaming about milk, she had big bright eyes that quickly turned brown and a tiny button nose.

 

 

 

Her Sisters took to her straight away just as she did to them. As she grew older and more alert she would smile at them as they cuddled her or offered her toys. Later her whole face would light up whenever they paid her any attention.

 

 

Eager to be involved in their games and join in she would scream with delight as they ran around squealing and giggling.

An affectionate little thing she loved cuddles right from the start, always snuggling and burying right in. Happiest when warm and cosy.

She grew chubbier, began to make noises and move. She learnt to roll, clap, sit, wave and point. Best of all she learnt to say Mamma and Dadda.

Where have those 8 months gone though? My baby girl has changed so much already. Its lovely to see her grow and develop but does it really have to happen so quickly?
