Do you know what I was doing 3 years ago today? I was sleeping. Exciting stuff, huh? Do you know why I was sleeping? Because at midnight on Dec. 29, 2004 I had to be at the hospital to be induced.
Do you know what I was doing at 2:01pm on December 29, 2004? I was meeting my sweet baby girl, Cindy-Lu Hoo.
Is she not the most beautiful baby you’ve ever seen? Yes. She is.
And then, all of a sudden, she wasn’t my little baby anymore. She was this big one year old girl who ate cake and opened presents and flipped off all the other babies who were already walking by then because damn it she wanted to be carried around.
THEN, she decided to hell with this “little” business. I’m growing the fuck up. Or something like that. And there was this.
But NOW? Now she has decided that 2 is too young. And so she will be 3 instead. (But, if you ask her she insists she is 4. I know she’s lying, because I have no pictures from a 3rd birthday party. Yet.)
And, yes. I totally cried while I was looking at all these picture. So?

Okay, you have to think she’s cute, because you’re her mama, but I can tell you from a completely neutral, unbiased point-of-view that she is absolutely beautiful. Really. Congratulations to you and happy birthday to Cindy-Lu. Also, my condolences to her on not being 4.

I know the feling. My little baby boy will be three on January 11th and I feel like I was just meeting him for the first time too. Now with baby number two on the way he seems even older than just three. Maybe he is really 4 too.
PS I just started reading your blog and I think its freakin hysterical, but don’t try to steal me away from Leslie (mymommysplace), she was my first damn it and I am not a blog whore. Well, if I was would you judge me?

Amy,
Just wait til Baby 2 is actually here. Your son will look ginormous the first time you see him. I almost cried when I saw Eeyore the first time after having Cindy-Lu. He just looked so grown up!
I would never try to steal you from Leslie…but I am open to the blog whoring.
I won’t tell Leslie you’re cheating if you don’t!
