Everyday wonderful...

Each day I wake up, I just can't believe how much Tyler has grown. Each and everyday she is discovering and learning in so many ways. We're so excited to see the wonderful person she is becoming, but I must admit that at the same time, I am a bit saddened. :) She's not the tiny little baby she once was. Long gone are the days when we would wake up, and I would hold her from the time she woke up to the time she went to bed. :) .... and awaiting the twins, makes me realize all the more what a precious time we have had, and that I won't ever have that again. Don't get me wrong, when they arrive, it will be wonderful, but just a little different. :) With your first, everything is new, everything is a learning experience. And each day is just the same... I've obviously never raised a two and half year old before... :) But when they arrive I will at least have some idea of what happens once we come home from the hospital. :)

Tyler has been pretending, and it's the cutest and funnest thing to see... so she's a turtle today. :) How she comes up with some of the things she does is beyond me... she is just so smart and quick. We got a new book, (that she didn't seem to be at all interested in) about turtles, but we haven't read it since last week, but obviously she was paying attention because she had been doing some of the things we read about. :) It's just too cute!

We decided as soon as we found out that we were expecting, we decided to share the news with Tyler. She is our family, and we felt that she should be included. No matter how things turned out, we felt it would be best to include her. We'd either get a jump on introducing the new change, or heaven forbid, things not work out, she would know something was wrong, and we don't want to lie to her.... so anyway... she been very funny. Some days very independent, some days very clingy. She either wants to do it her way, by herself, or it's completely opposite. She acts like a tiny baby. :) Pretending to cry and wanting to be held and rocked. All of this I think is completely normal, and just fine with the fact that I get extra cuddle time. :)

I thank God every day for all the blessings we have been given. Everything happens for a reason, and so I just try to take each day at a time, and appreciate it for what it is. I love my little girl so much!!!
