Holy Crap, I'm a Mom!

This is the thought that frequently goes through my head when I look at Riley Kate. I'll be filling her sippie cups, or folding her little laundry, or when I go to wake her up in the morning, and it occurs to me. When did this happen? How did I get so lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful husband and daughter? I'm not going to question it, but I'll definitely enjoy it.

She's such a great baby girl, and she's at such a fun age. She never sits still unless she's sleepy. It's go go go all the time, giving Oscar a run for his money in the family room to front door track he made famous. She loves to squeal and run into the window in the family room and play peek a boo with the curtains. She'll go and get her ball if you ask her to, and she'll give you something if you ask for it, but then she wants it back. :) She even knows to give Oscar his bone if we ask. He's not so hip on it since it usually means he's getting whacked in the face with it, but he just grins and bears it. She likes to pet the cats, and she likes to pretend to brush her hair (what there is of it) with her plastic Elmo comb. She loves to chase you around the island in the kitchen, giggling the whole time until she 'catches' you. She likes to help me with the laundry, coming into supervise the activity. She always has a big smile on her face and is happy to go with the flow.

What a wonderful little girl and I can't wait to see what else she has in store.

It's been over 3 months now & I constantly have that same thought. Holy crap! I'm a mom! I guess it's not going away any time soon.
