sometimes...


i wonder sometimes if i really am going to miss cleaning off this little face every time i turn around, especially when my hands are cracked and bleeding from washing so many little fingers and cheeks all day every day.

even if i'm not loving all of the messy body parts i am completely head over heals in love with her brown eyes, the perfect shape, the perfect shade, with so much expression, i'm constantly sucked into staring at them.

it's been 18 months but i still can't believe my boy and i ended up with a small, blond haired, brown eyed baby, not so baby anymore.

i have to say i'm a big fan of brown eys myself. although i do wish i could get a blonde haired baby with green eyes, i think jack's like peyton's are perfect.

I know this is random but my hands crack and bleed from washing them so much too. My sister introduced me to Dial foam soap with yogurt in it. It smells really good and then it's not quite as hard on my hands. I also LOVE thick Neutrogena's hand cream. It comes in a small 2 oz. tube and I put it on before bed and it works wonders! Good luck!

I love those messy faces and miss them. I don't think you'll ever stop looking at your girls with fascination. I still look at my girls and wonder about the perfect nose or shape of their eyes and think "I'm so blessed"!

Yeah!! A niece with my big brown eyes! I hated being the only one in the family with brown eyes till I had my kids. Now I too am in love with BIG BROWN EYES!
