Last but not least

Although a big part of me is glad that soon, very soon, we will be done with bottles, bouncy seats and burping, it is still bittersweet that Haley is my last little baby. I am content that our family is complete but I'm trying to savor this time with Haley more so than I did the other girls because she is my last. Too often, Haley is just along for the ride when we're out and about, usually content with her tootie in her carrier. She is a lucky little girl that she has three sisters who want to hold her, make her smile and make her laugh. I try to steal some quiet time with my little girl when she wakes up in the morning or from nap, to just sit in the rocker, hold her while she drools all over her hand, look in her sweet little face and just savor this baby time. Then, usually within 5 minutes or less, the others sniff me out and Harper is rocking with us, Lily & Lacy are dragging toys in her room, putting their dolls in her crib. Even though it rarely lasts long, I'm grateful to just have a little peace with my Haley.
