well, i think it’s safe to say that little girl winter attire has taken the cozy in my life to a whole new level. i mean, i cannot get enough. tiny sweaters! little scarves! miniature everything i love! it’s kind of an addiction. she is so very much like having my own real life baby doll, and then, when i see her taking care of her baby doll, oh i just understand so much more of life. like, yes! this is it! this is how life works! i don’t know. it all just makes sense somehow.
i am starting to think lately, though… what is the difference between a 16 month old and a 16 year old? i mean, besides a few years and a few feet and a larger vocabulary? because really! maddalena rose is a bundle of sweetness and sugar and love wearing the sassiest of sasspants, and it is kiiiind of blowing my mind. i mean, she is hilarious. she is fun. she sings to us every night and loves to cuddle. she likes to “clean” like mommy does, and she feels very responsible when it comes to keeping the dog and cat food bowls full. she dances every time she hears a good tune, and the girl, she has her own ideas. and oh, the faces she can make at me when her ideas do not come to fruition! dear goodness gracious, help me when she is a teenager! haha! but for the most part, since she is so miniature, it’s really all i can do to not burst out in laughter. this “i am being SO SERIOUS RIGHT NOW MOM” face that she has adopted just recently i find particularly ah-mazing. [however, the bossy piggy shriek she’s been trying out is, oh, slightly less amazing ;)] but that baby girl… gosh, i am so so proud of her spirit. it’s the same one she was born with, and it’s just really fun to watch it develop.
maddalena, one day you will read this and laugh, i hope! and then i will say to you, “someday you will have a daughter, and you will know!!!” because that’s what my mom said to me. and guess what, mom? NOW I KNOW!
anyway, we are in for a wintery cold weekend, i think, so we’re going to take our sassy selves and cozy up! we’ve got our harry connick, jr holiday pandora station playing non-stop, and oh, there is totally starbucks salted caramel chocolate milk mix in my coffee. mmm baby! stay warm, everyone!!
and ps. we still so adore her little bunny hat from the talented ana at ma cherie!!
