It's Friday!

It's been a quick week, you know one of those weeks when you just feel like you are going, going, going, and you never have a moment to yourself, and then you wake up and realize, wow! the weekend is here again.
My weeks have been going like this for awhile now, and while it's nice that the time passes quickly, it's sad because my little baby is growing up, and my sweet girl is growing up even more! I can't belive that in one week my baby, the last baby I will have, is going to be 11 months old. 11 months, that is one month short of 1 year! How is it that she has already passed so many milestones in what seems like such a short time.
She is battling the 2nd or 3rd cold that she has had in her lifetime. Having a nanny has many perks! By this time sweet girl had had atleast 6 ear infections or sore throat viruses and she was in a small daycare setting! Anyway, baby girl does not have a good handle on sleeping through the night. She likes her mommy, and loves to cuddle with her mommy in her mommy's arms, which usually turns into mommy's bed because mommy is so darn tired, and has to get up and go to work in a few hours and wants to sleep.
BUT, last night a little benedryl, helped aid the sleep cause! I acutally woke up at 6 and looked at the clock, then tiptoed to baby girl's doorway and watched to see if she was breathing. When will I stop worrying about that? I think never, I still check on sweet girl in the middle of the night sometimes.
Yesterday, baby girl demonstrated her ability to stand up on her own and balance for about a minute. She was quite proud of herself. Hubby commented on how it looked strange to see baby girl and sweet girl standing next to each other. I agreed. Then she went on to show off her newest trick, How big is sweet baby? and up her arms go with a big smile! That girl is so darn cute when she smiles. To bad she only has 2 settings, smiley happy and crying pissed off.

As I write this post, I'm thinking to myself, "You really need to just sit back and relax and enjoy the ride at least 2 days a week." All of the other stuff will still be there, and we may pay a few bills late, and we might not have the best dinners, and everything might not be clean and tidy, but you know what, I will have had some enjoyable moments, and so will my girls. And Daddy might even catch on and join in on the family fun!
