I don't want to jinx anything, so let's keep this between us......Piper loves me. She loves me so much, I can see it! She wants me to hold her all the time and is now reaching for me, crawling to me and climbing up my arms and chest to get me to pick her up. What an amazing thing! Do you have any idea what that is like? You probably do. Doesn't it kick-a? I like to think of it as an evaluation to my parenting and Pip is just letting me know that I passed.

Let me document that the first time the reach/crawl/shirt-climb up mama's chest happened was May 11th 2009. It is now happening often and I can't stop thinking about it. Sometimes a little reach/crawl/shirt-climb up mama's chest is all you need to feel like everything is going to be ok. So what that it took 2 years to get a little feedback?

The only downside is that this new clingy-ness makes me never want to leave her.

This might be my sweetest moment with piper ever. I have to write this down. I took her on a little field trip to the village and after about 30 minuts of playing there, she fell asleep. I brought her back to her room and thought she'd for sure wake up in the transition from her kiddie kart to mama's arms, but she didn't!

So here I am, snuggling my angel while she sleeps in my arms. This NEVER happens. I've snuck in about a hundred kisses because she doesn't normally let me do that either. My adorable little pip-squeak, stay a baby forever!!
