Today was a good day! I got an adequate amount of sleep and had the ability to sleep-in a little more than usual before Nyla Rose woke me up. Nyla is my baby girl and her personality just seems to be unfolding with the passing of the days. She is nine months now and though I initially thought she would be more of a soft-spoken, gentle baby, she has proven to be a life of the party baby. Nyla loves to laugh, smile, dance, sing, and occasionally pick with her older siblings. Goes to show that none of us truly know the fullness of who our children will become. In many cases, only time will tell.
Nyla awoke me this morning by gnawing on my cheek, upon rolling over to try to put her back to sleep, it appears sleep, grabbed hold of me. Next, I heard Nathan holler out, “Ma, get Nyla! She’s crawling all over me!” This was my alarm system this morning. My brother came and spent a little bit with us before returning home to his fiancée’, who is expecting their first baby girl. Today was a good day, because woke up to love. I count it not lightly, that I have a family that I love and that loves me. Naomi was still asleep in her room, so she missed out on a few early day shenanigans. But family and fun are not something she’s not used to.
