I've been thinking about this lately. How it's amazing you can love someone so much. And it's a different kind of love than the love you have for your significant other. I'm talking about the love for your baby.
I mean, Annamarie is just awesome to me. I can't imagine life without her. Yeah, sometimes nights are rough, but in the morning, I love that smile of hers.
I don't think it's something you can even understand until you have a baby of your own. I knew I'd love her, but it's kind of indescribable how it is now.
I love the stage she's at now, but I know I'll love it months from now too. The way she says "MAMA! MAMA!" when she's grumpy and crawls to sit in my lap melts me. She rests her head on my chest and I just love it. She doesn't do that for Steve.
I'm sure all you moms know this love I'm talking about. But I just had to write about it because it's amazing to me. A little piece of Heaven you get to experience here on earth.
My two loves!
Getting so big! She LOVES her baby mum-mums!
And she LOVES the big girl swing!
Make sure and check back tomorrow for my awesome giveaway! ;) (and it's something for all the ladies, not just moms!)

She's so adorable. I love the pictures of her in the swing. She looks like she's having a blast. The owl hat is too cute! Did you make that?
It really is amazing how much you can love your baby. It's something you really can't describe. I can't imagine my life with any of my kids.
That should have said without any of my kids. It doesn't take much to imagine my life with them. LOL!
And it just grows and grows. Motherhood taught me that there is no cap on love. The hardest part of that love for me is when the children are no longer squishy and adorably like babies; they don't make *me* feel good and I still must love them like Christ loves them. I think that's why God made them so beautiful at the start... so that we fall hopelessly in love before they grow bristles. lol
People think I'm crazy for having a teenager AND a baby in the house. I tell them that they have no idea what a good pairing it is. On the older ones worst days, when they feel unlovable and not worth a hill of beans, they head straight for the little ones... who love them just because they are alive. And I think that's what babies often do for mamas, too. :)
She's so precious, Allison! I'm so grateful that you have this blog to share all of this with us!
And it only gets better! When #2 comes...and you start to panic thinking, "how on earth could I possibly love #2 as much as #1"...it's then that you realize that you don't have to choose...your heart just grows bigger making enough room to love all your children!
Blessings,
Val
Awwwww, Allison, that was beautiful.
She's just adorable, we never tire of pictures of her!!
I am with you (5 times over!!) there is nothing like the love you have for your children. you love them so much it really does hurt. Very sweet. I love keeping up with your Annamarie since she and Vincent are a day apart. It's crazy that vincent is all over the place!!! my last three babies before him didn't crawl until 11 months but he is a fast little bugger at almost 8 months!
Michelle, wow, 11 months?! Annamarie full out crawled (not army crawling) a day before 7 months, there's no stopping her now! She walks along things too, and thinks she can stand on anything and walk but as a huge bruise on her forehead shows, not everything supports her weight ;)
She's so busy, always getting into everything, it certainly keeps me on my toes!
It must be that I am the only male who reads your blog aside from your husband.
Love your baby as hard as you can. These are the moments you will remember later in life. Bless her everyday with holy water.

I hear you. I hear you big time!
