Robin Hope : 8 months

8 months? How could it actually be 8 months 

and at the same time only be 8 months?

Our Sweet and Spicy Robin is really starting to come out of her shell and it is so fun.
She has more quiet but powerful personality. She's thoughtful and smart, with definite opinions and wants. She is so strong, I feel like I spend most of my time wrestling an alligator. She can sit up, roll like its no ones business, enjoys solid food, and is determined to get what she wants. 

She loves to empty bins filled with her toys and play with them one by one, and we do this all day long. I fill them up and she empties them all over the floor. She has the cutest way of moving her hands as she fingers and explores new objects. Everything she touches goes straight into her mouth. One of her favorite things to do, is to roll over to our large window and play with the hanging blinds.

  Robin is very social and is so content watching people and being part of the party. She takes very short naps, mostly because I think she's worried she's going to something. She excitedly watches River run around all day, and he is the only one that can make her belly laugh. I love watching these two together. It melts my heart. River ADORES his sister and it's the cutest thing. The world is right when they're together.

Robin loves her daddy. She watches him, waiting for him to look at her. When he does, she greets him with the most sweetest smile I have ever seen. She flirts with him too, bashfully looking away and then turning back to make sure he's still looking. She just lights up when she hears him and sees him. Skyler is a good daddy, and this little girl has stolen his heart.

I can't put into words what my little bitty is to me. She's a part of me I've known and waited for my whole life, and now she's here. We're together again. She's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Her quiet thoughtful expressions cause me to catch my breath. Her blue eye, soft hair, and full cheeks endear her to me. The way she rests her hand on my arm while she takes a bottle, sleepily rubs her eyes and leans her head back on my shoulder when she's tired, how she's starting to giggle when I tickle her under her arms, her contentment whenever we're doing something together, her strong will and sweet, soft smiles -- She has run away with my whole world and I will do anything for her. 

She is my daughter. 

My little Robin Hope. My Itty Bitty.

My Vision. My Treasure.
