Happy Sweet 16(month)!
I can’t believe that I haven’t posted anything about my sweet little girl Mila here. My beloved radiant daughter who turned 16 months today is nothing like the girl I imagined or hoped for….she is better. Not a stereotypical girl in the least. She can keep up with the big boys. She is fierce, confident, fearless, unstoppable and so damn cute I want to eat her up. Definitely a wild child, she is so entertaining. Watch her and you will be mesmerized in her quick action problem solving techniques and she will have you laughing in sitches within minutes. She scurries around like a mouse (she went from crawling straight to running, skipping over the walking stage) looking for a piece of the action everywhere she goes. I am so in love with her. From the moment she was born, she has been a shining light for me. She is joy to this world. She is playful, so smart she actually scares me, a do-er, girly in so many ways—her bright beautiful eyes, her wild untameable hair… Her ability to care and love blows me away. And, she is a dancing machine. The girl has some amazing moves and natural rhythm. I have very little tolerance for stereotypical gender roles. I have always thought the world needs softer boys/men and tougher girls/women and I am so immensely proud that my children represent that. Her capacity to love is immeasurable. A curious cat about everything. A doting sister she is obsessed with her big brother. He is her world. She is a good eater, good sleeper, just a good person—the world is truly a better place with her presence in it. I can’t wait to grow old with her on my side. She is my best friend in the making. Hands down, the spunkiest girl I know.
