Photo of the week: 5 years come and gone like that
Five years ago today, I welcomed to the world my firstborn — a 7 pound baby girl.
That day, from the hospital bed, I remember countless words of advice from family, friends, doctors, nurses. Every single person that day (and many days following) told me to cherish every moment because children grow in what seems like a blink of an eye.
Yes, it sounds cliche, but it’s really true.
My memories of meeting my baby girl are so vivid I can hardly believe it’s been five years. And every moment since has been one to cherish, from that first smile, to those wobbly first steps, to that first piece of birthday cake (and bath immediately following), to the first time I heard that tiny voice say, “I love you, Mommy.”
I promise I won’t get too sappy here. I’ll save that for late August when I’m facing on another milestone first — the first day of kindergarten. Yes, that’s really hard to believe …
For now, I just want to say Happy Birthday, Sophie.
