you spend your childrens life trying to teach them everything you possibly can. right now amelia has almost mastered crawling, "bye bye", going to sleep on her own and feeding herself solid foods. each day we work on more and more that she will eventually learn to do. but its funny how an 8 month old can teach you something way more important than crawling or waving goodbye. patience. ive never been one with a lot of patience, but when amelia came along she really helped me with this. you cant get angry with someone you can hardly communicate with, so you learn to do what you can to get through that frustrating moment.
on days like yesterday i really wish i could read minds, so i wouldnt have to ask amelia a million questions that she cant answer. "where are you hurting?" "how can i make it better?" "why are you not happy in my lap, eating, sitting in your exersaucer OR playing on the floor??" "dont you want your dad to hold you?" :) its sad to see your baby upset, and especially not knowing exactly what you can do to help. so in certain situations i wouldve previously been frustrated in, i find myself singing a silly song, dancing around or scrambling to get amelia something to stick in her mouth ASAP!
i love her so much my heart hurts!!
