I have an excited mommy story for all the moms reading this as you will understand how this makes you feel. Last night during church was the first time Mia had been away from me for a long period of time (only 2 hours, but long for us). She went with Rusty to class while I sang, etc. After church, she was so excited to see me! If anyone else held Mia, she would look and reach for me. WOO HOO! It was a great mommy moment to see that she really does like me ;o) and she wanted me...it was just the encouragement and reassurance I needed. Bringing home a six month old has been quite a learning experience...someone else has always been there for her, knows what she likes/doesn't like, they have been all she's known (and trust me...her foster family was wonderful, so Mia had it made)...and now she finds herself here with us. Mia's very happy and seems content, but part of me wondered if it was because I was her only option during the day...I'd feed her, hold her, play with her, etc. But last night, when she "picked" me...my heart melted and I knew that I was more to her than just a funny looking "babysitter"....she knows that I'm her MOMMY!
Sorry for the rambling...but I just had to share. Here are some new pics and I'll post another update soon.
Family picture :o)
Wow! I didn't know how challenging it would be to try and get a 3 year old and a 6 month old to just look at the camera at the same time!?! I wish we could've caught a better smile from Mia...but they're both looking the right direction so we'll take it. :o)
Fun in the tub!
More fun in the tub!
