Mommy and I frequently have long talks. There are many women she thinks are just lovely and whom she admires, but I don't think she has developed the fine art of talking to other girls, though she is getting better. And so I am her constant companion. I think she appreciates having such an adoring listener always at her disposal - even if I can only smile (or drool) in response. Don't misunderstand me, daddy is her best friend and they spend much of their time laughing and talking together, it's just he isn't always home, and so I take his place as mommy's best friend. I sit in her lap while she does her hair and make-up (which isn't very often), and I pal around with her in the kitchen. Some mornings we don't even get out of bed; she just sings to me, tickles me, or simply holds me close trying so hard to hang onto the moment before it slips away and she's left wondering how her baby grew up so fast.

this picture of you in the green is fabulous! I wish I were as photogenic as you! You will have to frame this one of you and Paige. It's so hard to get pics of mommy and baby, cuz Mommy is always taking them!
