happy half birthday hallie girl!

My baby girl is growing up. It happened so fast. Seems like just yesterday that I was feeling hopeless and never thought I'd get a good night's sleep again. Now she sleeps all night and sometimes I have to wake her up! Seems like just yesterday that nursing was tortuous and I wanted it to be over. Now, I can't imagine the day she won't want to nurse again. Seems like just yesterday I felt like I was going to break her, she was so tiny. Now, our favorite game is toss the baby! Seems like yesterday that all her headbands were too small. Now, she won't keep them on. Seems like just yesterday that she looked like a grain of sand on the beach in her crib. Now she stretches the length of the crib and sometimes a leg or arm gets stuck. Seems like just yesterday I was meeting my girl for the first time, tears welling up as I saw this sweet face that only a few seconds before was hangin' out in my tummy. Today, I'm blinking through tears as I hold my baby girl, thinking about how those once-in-a-lifetime baby moments are so fleeting, and how I want to treasure each.one.all.day.long. Love you Hallie girl!
