One of the loveliest people I have gotten to know via twitter posted her birth story last night - I absolutely loved reading it, and cried through most of it, remembering a lot of my feelings before Matilda was born - if you enjoy this sort of thing - check out this beautiful post by Miss James!

And if you haven’t checked out her blog before, shame on you! Kidding!! But seriously, you should. You will love her!

This little girl has completely changed me, and for the better. She is turning into such a fun little person - I am in awe every day at this amazing little personality she is developing. She laughs all the time. She will smile at the strangest of strangers. She is already falling in love with the world, and I adore showing new parts of it to her each and every day. She is such a good little sidekick. As long as her tummy is full, she will go anywhere, anytime - and will pretty much nap anywhere and anytime as well (I think she gets that from both her daddy and I - we can sleep ANYWHERE!)

This is her new favorite position - her tummy!!! She can scoot and roll and get pretty much anywhere she needs to be - which means we need to start babyproofing!! In a MAJOR way - any tips on this?

I thank God every day for this amazing little creature He blessed Jon and I with - I cannot imagine my life without her anymore. She is perfect, and keeps us both smiling on a daily basis. I mean, really - how could you be sad with these little teeth peeking out at you?
