Oh the squishiness...

If I could bottle up the essence that is 4 months old - oh I would! No doubt.I would treasure it and save it for a rainy day. I would let it remind me that no matter what is going on inside of me and no matter what is going on around me - there is good. So much good.
There is just something about that fresh-from-heaven purity and innocence... It's such a reminder that God is good all the time. The grins, the giggles, the freedom, the acceptance. There is something about this age that is simply magical. And it is also a great reminder that there is a point in time during this life when squishy fluffy thighs are just about the best thing ever... And what could be better than that??

Four months is exactly that...magical. I couldn't agree more. I used to think I loved newborns who snuggled up and slept all day long. Then my oldest turned four months, and I thought, now THIS is it! Oh, those toothless grins!

Not sure I've ever told you...you are an amazing writer...always beautiful...you have a gift!
