Elmo and Bubbles

The little lady is down for a rather long nap and I found myself wanting to write. Usually when she is down for a nap or for the night I am too tired to make my way to the computer, but today I feel like I need to. She is growing SO fast lately and I feel like I am doing such a poor job at capturing it. It hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday. We were sitting in the living room and she had covered herself (and me) in Elmo stickers. She picked up her new bubble maker (it is battery operated and fans out bubbles) and started putting it up to my face. I would yell "wow!" and she would collapse into a fit of giggles. It.was.ridiculous.



This eventually developed into her chasing poor Macie. Luckily, I did get this on video. :)



 
Don't feel too sorry for Macie. She is just paying for her raising.
 
I don't want this time to pass by too quickly. I want to appreciate every moment and remember it. This time with her is going to be a memory soon. My heart aches at the thought of that. I know that we weren't meant to stand still and that many more joys await us, but I can't help but love where she is right now and want time to slow down a bit.
