Love this girl!!

So I've just been wondering lately how it is possible for you to love this tiny little person (Maia) so much and have been worried that I won't have enough love for my second child...I'm sure that's not the case, but seriously, Maia is such a sweetheart (okay, she has her moments!), and I just can't get enough of her--she is seriously fun to hang out with!! I am all about the girly girl stuff she is into...the princesses, the dresses, the shoes, the jewelry, it really is so fun. She is so energetic and full of personality! Some of the cute things she has been saying lately:
"Hold your hand Mom"
"I miss Daddy" or when I come home from being gone she'll say "I miss you momma!" It's the sweetest thing!
"My turn" or "No, I do" for EVERYTHING!! She is very independent!
"See you later"
"Come here Mom"
"Hmmm" and she'll put her finger on her chin when she says it, like she's really thinking about something
"Oh, thank you" for just about anything...she is a very thankful girl, she is always saying thank you!
"Hug, Mama" When she wants a hug
"Love you" and she always signs it when she says it.
This next one is a new one...she was working outside with David today when David's shovel broke. She couldn't see him, but she heard the shovel break, so she ran around the shed and asked "Dad, what happened?" She's a smartie!
She is still very much full of hugs and kisses and snuggles, which I love. I hope she never gets too old for that!! She is my baby girl (who is growing up too fast!) and I love her so much!!
Here are some darling pictures of out my sweet girl that my good friend Megan took a couple of weeks ago. Thanks Megan!! They turned so cute!! I had to scan them in, so hopefully they still look cute!) Megan made the cute bow too...it's really for her little girl, but Maia borrowed it for the photo shoot so she could be a little dolled up, it was so adorable...it made me really wish that Maia would leave SOMETHING, ANYTHING in her hair!

Love her squished up cheek in this one!
A cute one of just Maia and Momma..
...and one of my favorites of the whole family!

I love the new pictures! I love when photographers capture the moment. And yes I felt the same way just before Carter was born. And I can truly tell you it is possible to love each one just as much as the first. It's amazing how children capture your heart and push you to your limits at the same time. I Love being a Mom!

Okay, those pictures are DARLING! Love what you're all wearing!! You should be in photo frames at all stores!

I remember crying in bed next to Jessie weeks before Reese was born telling her while she was sleeping that I will still love her when this baby comes! It's amazing how your love grows!

Those pictures are adorable. Love Maia in that bow. Your clothes are perfect and I'm with Jill - You don't even look prego??? Whats up with that? I can't believe how smart she is! Quite the little talker. Zach is not even near that. He just started putting together two words - but very rarely.

I love these pictures! Maia really is such a sweetie, and I can almost feel what you're going through right now, because I remember going through the same thing when I was pregnant with Alli. I would just hold Lillie, and savor every moment with her, and (secretly) wonder if I could ever possibly love this new baby as MUCH as I love Lillie?! And then as soon as I held Alli, I fell in love all over again...and you realize that you love all your kids exactly the same. I'm so excited for you!! You look fantastic, by the way!
