Under the weather

Dear Catalina,
For the past few days, you seem to be suffering from a bit of a cold.  You're very snotty and having trouble sleeping.  Poor little munchkin!  Luckily it doesn't seem to be too serious and its not really affecting your personality during the day--you are still as smiley and fun as usual.  Still it is awful to hear you suffer at night.  You seem to appreciate cuddling even more when you don't feel well!

I just can't get over how much you've changed in the last few months.  I can't even put my finger on all the things that are different, but I know for sure you are changing.  You've started sucking in your bottom lip in the last few days and making a humming sound.  You also seem to be very much interested in our dog, Rizo.  You laugh and smile at her all the time.  I'm so glad you seem to like animals.  I wouldn't know what to do if you didn't! 

I've been thinking lately about how foolish I feel to not have wanted to have children before having you.  You really are the most amazing thing I've ever done.

Just a short post tonight. 

Goodnight, sweetheart.
Mommy
