2 months

Swoon

It is so hard to believe you are two months old. Where have these 8 weeks gone? The worst part is I know that in 13 days I will have to leave you to go to work. As I type this you are sleeping and I can't seem to get my mind off leaving you.
 
How women leave is so hard to understand. I am completely in awe of the working woman, the single working woman, and women in general. I am terrified to leave her with someone else, I don't know their habits, their teaching styles, their ethics. When I am home with her I know what she is learning, how, and when. She can hold herself up. No, it may not be for longer than a minute but she can. She holds her head up, she "talks", she is able to hold on to things. she is simply amazing.

I pray that these next few months fly by and I am able to be at home with her. I pray that God will guide me in this decision. That God will provide for me. I pray that God watches over Eddison as I work. I pray that nothing happens to my family. It is hard being a mother. Yet, it is the most rewarding thing a person can do.

My little scarecrow!

As I look at her I can see the determination she has to be a strong girl, I can see how hard she tries to talk, I can see her rolling to get that pacifier because she wants it. She is everything I prayed about and more. I am so blessed to be her mother. I am so proud to be her teacher.

We took photos today and wow! She is stunning. I am so beyond speechless when I look at her. She is the picture of perfection. I can't believe all the things she has accomplished in the short 2 months of her life. I can only begin to imagine what she will have done in the years to come.



My baby Eddison is my life. She is everything. For those two reasons I know how hard it will be to head off to work. For those two reasons I have to say I am positive working won't last long. This past week we have been working on so many things and I can't help but wonder if her sitter will do those things as well.

We are learning some sign language, how to read, and learning to grasp and put her pacifier in her mouth. We are also learning how to stand tall. She is really good at all of the above. Oh, I love you baby girl.
