I saw you!

Oh, my little fish...I saw you! AND, I now know you aren't going to be another brown girl, as Dad and I often thought. You're going to be a VikaPino! We are thrilled beyond belief, and somehow, that small knowledge has inspired me to start on your bedroom, even though you'll be with us the first year. For some reason, I didn't feel the draw to this whole nursery decorating business...now I'm researching, and I hope you love it.

Oh, and if for some reason, when you're 4 and suddenly aware of your power to change things, you decide you want something different, no worries. Mama will be happy to slop paint on the walls with you.

Love you, little fish. Love you so, so much...

Baby, you were there!!

Baby, fall is here!

Each and every day is so special. These last days of fall are the last I'll spend with just your Dad and I--that is special. Next year, these last days of fall will be your first! How special that will be, too. By then, you will be almost 7 months old, instead of your current 17 weeks! You will be able to see these colors at 7 months, see what Mommy calls "Fire Maples," and you will be able to pick up leaves in your tiny hand and crush them with us. Crunch them, squish some fall soil, shelter in our chests from those blustery fall winds...

It is amazing.
