Olivia. This child weighed 9lbs 5oz. at birth. And I thought she was tiny. Whatever. Before she got here, I imagined how precious my life was gonna be:
I was going to dress her in the cutest outfits all the time. (Did y'all know babies vomit?) We were going to spend our whole Saturdays in the mall. (Have you ever nursed your baby so much in the ladies lounge at McRae's that you were a 'regular'?)
What about that first mommy-daughter bath? (Did you know babies can poop in warm water?)
Okay, so she put me through Motherhood Boot Camp. I'm all the better for it now.
And so is she! This girl has the sweetest disposition and smile; she's a whiz at writing songs, stories, and poetry. She's creative and a great dancer. I'm serious, y'all. I mean she is Solid-Gold-dancer kind of good. And she's just 11.
Stay tuned for the stories that this one will bring forth.
