My Heart Will Go On

I always think about traits I wish I could "give" my daughter. I know there will be certain things she inherits from me; probably my smart-assery and stubbornness for sure, but that's about all I can offer her.

So many people have told me that I'm a strong woman because of the things I have gone through, but little do any of you know.. I'm not that strong. I'm only human, and I break down.. More often than I care to admit actually. I'm scared about the future and I stress over the little things. But then again, who doesn't?

If there is anything that I could give K, it would be an unbreakable heart. I hope I can raise her to be stronger than I am. I want her to overcome her fears and reach her goals. I want her to love and be loved by everyone she encounters.
Every mother wants their child to succeed, but K has truly become my first and foremost goal in life. I want to raise her better than I was raised (no offense to my parents, of course).. I know I can accomplish this goal and I will be proud of K no matter where life takes her.

Dear God, thanks for this beautiful life, and forgive me if I don't love it enough.

K is hardcore walking and talking. Where did time go?
She can say the following words: mommy, puppy, pretty, jew (for juice, haha), hi, bye, bottle, and ni-ni (for night).

My daughter never ceases to amaze me with the things she learns on a daily basis. I always forget that she has so much more to learn about life, and I can only hope she lets me hold her hand through everything. Or almost everything. I know I can't hold her hand forever.. and I know that  won't be for quite a while, but I'm scared about her growing up.
I've already started thinking about transitioning her into Pull-Ups and working on potty training! Yikes! 

Then she'll be in school, and you know the rest of the story.

I love my baby girl. Every day brings a new adventure with her, and I'm prepared for whatever comes next!
