she is growing, and growing, and growing

It feels as if it was yesterday when we first held our beautiful daughter. Keila is growing like crazy.
The last 10 moths have been a new but beautiful journey.
I still remember those hours of pain before meeting her. When I look back to her first months of live, when she is getting use to this world and we are getting use to her; man! it was hard!! But it has been worth it.
There are days when I look at her and I still can't believe that she is our daughter. She is our little treasure that God in trusted us with. And oh my! there are lots to learn once you become a parent.
I have come to see how selfish I am. Now, not everything revolves around me, I cannot spend all the time I want thinking about me. But I have this little person who needs me who cannot survive without me. Everyday I need to choose to put my self aside and look for my daughter's best interest.
I am learning more and more about unconditional love. Even when she was just a newborn, and she couldn't do a thing on her own; I loved her just for who she was. And now, she does a few things on her own but still I love her not for what she does, but for who she is. She is the one who brightens my days, she brings a smile to my face, she knows how to show me love even when I am not perfect. I love her for who she is! Now, I cannot imagine life without my little bundle of joy.
She is now 10 months and get around on her own. We are on the stage where you can keep on telling her "no" but she still doesn't get it. So it is fun and challenging (as all of you parents know) but we are learning.
Also, she loves to "talk". Man she can be loud!
Thank you Lord for our healthy, beautiful and loud baby girl!!
