Well Jess,
My baby was a real hand full. At first I was just absorbed with getting her settled in, and practical Mommie stuff, and no nonsense potty training and trying to watch her like a hawk to get her pee poo patterns down.
Then there comes a time when they do that one thing. Oh it can be putting their little chin on our thigh and looking up at you like you hung the moon and the stars, or a kiss, or just looking so sweet when sleep.
It will hit you, trust me.
