We just returned from 8 days in Florida, where we visited my in-laws. Oh, the sun, the warmth, the palm trees, the quiet, the pool... What are we doing living in frigid Massachusetts, anyways?
Amelia has grown and changed by leaps and bounds. She found her voice, and she uses it very frequently! She is a chatty little girl with a lot to say. She also uses her voice to get my attention, and squeals when I am not giving her enough.
There are so many topics that I want to write about, but I have about two minutes before Amelia squeals for a feeding. I'll start here - the range of emotions as a mother is incredible. From the most intense love to worry about every little thing that I want to protect Amelia from...
What's on my mind right now is being a role model for Amelia. I want to show her what it looks like to be a woman who is compassionate first and foremost with herself, so that it spills over to others. A woman who doesn't judge her beauty or worth by her size or looks. Enough with being thin, or focusing on flawlessness everybody (no pun intended)!!! Oh, if only I could put her in a bubble and protect her from this flawed, though wonderful, world.
For now, though, I am deeply in love with Amelia. She has turned my world upside down.
