Time flies

I’m not quite sure how it happened.  All I know is she was pregnant, she had the baby and then the baby turned one.  Just like that.  At least that’s what if felt like to me!  I’ve known Jessica for a VERY long time.  We went to junior high, high school AND college together.  And we’ve been out of college for, um, 13 years now.  Yeah…we’re kinda old like that.

I was so ecstatic when she found out she was preggo.  And being how I have two boys, I was even more excited when she told me she was having a girl!  Finally!  A reason to buy pink!  And even though she REFUSED to tell me the baby’s name until after she was born (and therefore ruining my chances of getting her the perfect gift I had planned), we are still friends :)

I got to meet sweet Simone about 6 weeks after she was born, and I was smitten.   I mean, look at her!

These next few shots are ones that I hope her parents can look back on and remember just how little she was.  I mean, they used to give her baths in their kitchen sink.  I’d like to see them try that now!

A few months later, Miss Simone had grown so much!  Look at those cheeks!  And look at  those eyes!

I really didn’t think she could get much cuter.  But then she went and turned one on me.  Can you please look at that hair?  I mean, come on…I can’t help but love it.

I can’t wait to see her when she turns two next year.  Something tells me she’s going to have pig tails, what with all that hair.  Man, I really hope she does!  Maybe, if I’m lucky enough, Jess will let me do her hair.  Because I can’t exactly do that to either of my boys.

Love you, Simone-y!
