Through My Daughter's Eyes

Through my Daughter’s Eyes

by Shawna Brown

The world must look so large to her
Yet she looks so small to me
Each day is full of learning
Just from what she can see

With each new life experience
There comes a sense of joy
Her hands, her feet, her blankets
Everything’s a new toy

She expresses her love to me
Without the ability to say it so
Her smile tells me she is happy
Each day my love for her grows

I cannot express in words
How it feels to be her mother
Each coo, each cry, each squeak
Is an experience, like no other

I only want the best for her
For all her dreams to come true
I want her to feel how much I support her
In everything she chooses to do

Being a mother to this angel
Is a gift beyond compare
She brings so much joy to my life
A new happiness to which I was unaware

Through my daughter’s eyes
I am more than just her mother
I am her lifeline, I am her voice
My pride in her is like no other

Zoo!

So, Adam starts a new job on Monday, so I thought that we should do something fun over the weekend. We decided to go to the zoo! It was Lacey's first trip to the zoo and I have never heard her "talk" so much. She made noise the whole time. Lacey loves being outside and enjoying the trees. She loves trees! I hope to take her to the zoo many times, so she can learn to love animals as much as I do. I cannot believe that she is almost 5 months old. Time flies by so fast. She is starting to change almost everyday. I just looked at some pictures of her from a month ago and she already looks like a different baby. Being a mother is the best gift in the world and I thank Heavenly father each day to have Lacey in my life. Here are some zoo pictures of her.

Bumbo Chair

So.. I am a reallybad journal writer, which transfers to by horrible blogging skills. Update... Here is Lacey. She is one week shy of 5 months old. We love the BUMBO chair. It helps her sit up and she loves feeling like a big kid. She is growing up so fast.

I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful, well behaved daughter. She hardly cries, sleeps through the night and wakes up every morning with the biggest smile. She loves seeing us in the morning.

We are working on rolling over.. but she has done it once and won't again. Crawling is probably not going to happen any time soon, but sitting up is close by.

Being a working mother presents a lot of challenges, but everyday when I pick her up and see he smile when she sees me, my heart melts. Adam and I are so in love with ther and we thank our Heavenly father each day for this blessing in our life. Who knew someone so small could run your life? Who knew that someone so small could be loved so much? Her smile is a gift from God each time we see it. We are blessed.
