My Baby Girl.June.Six Months.

Nick's job has taken him to Virginia for the Summer. Neither Amelia or I can stand it! Luckily, we were able to sneak in a visit. We headed out to Washington D.C., where Nick picked us up. Amelia was so excited to see her Dad...I think Nick was more excited though. Everytime we skype, Amelia will look around for Nick after she hears his voice. When she heard his voice at the airport, she started looking around like usual, but when her eyes landed on his face she got the biggest smile and started kicking her legs like crazy! She flirted with him all week long. She would look at him until he would make eye contact with her, then she would smile, kick her legs, squeal and turn away...and do it all over again! Overall, we had a great week!

I've realized,

It seems I sorta {{LOVE}} you so much more than I thought I would!
How did I get so lucky? What did I do right? Can I really be the Mommy you deserve?
Wow.
I.love.you.little.girl
My life is sweeter with you around.
With you around I feel happier.
I feel happier when you smile at me.
You smile at me when I sing to you.
I sing to you, and your eyes stare at me.
Your innocent stare make my eyes tear up.
I tear up when I realize how lucky I am to have the chance to raise you.
When I think about raising you I get scared.
I get scared because I don't know if I'm strong enough.
I'm strong enough, but only with your Dad by my side.
Dad's hand will guide you through life.
Dad's life is sweeter with you around.
