Baby on lap

I have a baby on my lap. Apparently and according to everyone else, she's getting bigger. I don't see it. But then when I see that typed in there, I am reminded of an anecdote of boiling a frog. If one places a frog in a pot of water and boils the water while the frog sits in it, the frog will acclimatize itself and never notice the water increasing in temperature and die from being boiled.

I think what's going on here is that I am enjoying her so much, that as she acclimatizes herself to her environment outside of my tummy and I learn how to adjust our world to accomidate her, I overlook the fact that she's growing. One mom told me when Hope was small to enjoy the present. Not to look back or forward too far because if I did I would miss what's happening in the now. I don't remember a lot of what it was like to have 2 babies.....probably good that I don't but I do get to enjoy the memories of the other 5 kids as they are rekindled when I look at Paige and enjoy her company. Having her on my lap is one of the most enjoyable things, and the peace I have when I feed her makes the time go at the right speed.

Love you all...COMMENT WITH A HELLO ... please :)
