10 months of bliss

She's 10 months today!

That's right...our sweet little Raleigh is 2 months away from being a year old. Isn't that crazy? This time, 10 months ago, I was in a lot of pain, anticipating her arrival. It seems like yesterday.

She is doing great. She is talking, well, babbling a lot. She smiles and laughs all the time, which is so sweet. She is into EVERYTHING!!! Her new thing is to get under the Christmas tree and see how many bows she can rip off of the presents before I can get to her! She is taking some steps and crawling at the speed of light, it seems! And she loves to dance! It is so adorable. Her favorite song is the "Max and Ruby" theme song. Every time she hears it, she starts dancing...too cute! She still loves her big brother more than anything. She calls him "Bubba." She's been sick with a cold for about a week now, but she is slowly getting better. She is also getting me up a lot at night, which hasn't been so awesome :) , but I think it's because she's congested. But all-in-all, she's just perfect.

I thought I'd get past all of the emotions I have the older she and Cole got, but I seem to be even more emotional now than ever. I just love them so much; the thought of them brings tears to my eyes. I guess it's all part of being a mommy. I can't imagine life without them. They have brought so much joy to our lives and have made Eric and I stronger as a couple. With the birth of Raleigh, I really feel like our family is complete. For now. :) I am so insanely busy keeping up with them, I can't imagine having another baby right now, but I can't say that I NEVER want to have anymore. I just feel content right now in my life. Maybe in a few more years, we'll talk.
