Melt My Heart

Musings on Life and Beauty

We’ve had some long days lately, and despite my best efforts at naps and early bedtimes, I’ve got some tired little bodies around here.  When I saw this, my heart sighed a long sigh.


Two thoughts hit me simultaneously.  “She’s so big!” and “She’s so little!”


She had climbed in the basket and just went to sleep.  I couldn’t have posed her more sweetly.


Sound asleep, while the whole family sat and watched her in wonder.  Babies are wonderful things.








Sweet Dreams, little one.

Six Months of Sweet

Musings on Life and Beauty

Today marks six months since I first held my littlest one in my arms.

All day long I’ve been talking to her about the things she’s learned in that time, and she’s been giggling and smiling away.


She sat upright for at least 5 minutes today while I snapped a bunch of pictures.






Big stretch!




I kept taking her pacifier out of her mouth and she’d grab it and put it back in, then smile at me from behind it.


After last night’s speech on mathematics , I must concede that all the laundry, dishes, sleepless nights and hours in the car are worth even one of these smiles.  There is nothing in the world like looking into the smiling eyes of your baby. Your baby who trusts you, loves you, and wants nothing in the world but to be in your arms.

I don’t think there’s a number large enough to capture how blessed I am or how much I love her.
Thanks for being here, sweet one.  Happy 6 month birthday!

Love, Jennifer

Baby Feet Valentine

Paper, Ribbon, Valentines Day

I have been completely ga-ga over my baby’s feet since she was born.  It should be no surprise, therefore, that I used her feet to make a valentine celebrating her first 6 months of life.

I glued the ribbon around the edge of the footprints to help create the image of a heart.  Nothing fancy, but a special little first valentine for my baby on her first Valentine’s day.


Zero cost, and only a few minutes out of my day.  A precious little reminder of how sweet and small she is.
