Everyday I’m Getting Bigger

Baby Jaguar sings this song on one Go Diego Go episode and everytime I hear it I think of Kulia. She’s just growing by leaps and bounds.

Right now she’s sitting behind me in her little swing, cooing. If I turn around and look at her, she’ll catch my eye and burst out in this huge smile and laugh while kicking her hands and feet as if to say, “Look how cute I am! You want to come pick me up and kiss my fat little toes!” And oh, how I do!

I find myself just marveling over Kulia. I guess I was in too much of a baby shock with Leina to truely appreciate her because I’m blown away by baby sister. Her sweetness, her little personality, her unending rolls of sweet baby fat, and her changes! Today, she’s practicing rolling her tongue so it sounds as if a Spanish senorita has invaded her. She loves to try new sounds with her tongue in and out of her mouth and oh my goodness it’s too wonderful for words. I thought I would be jaded with Kulia and have a “been there done that” attitude but I think I actually appreciate her babiness more than I did with her older sister. I know how quickly this passes and how to truely savor every sweet slobbery moment. Because every day I lose a little more of my baby as she grows into herself. I can’t wait to see who she will be but I’m also aware that this, right now, is something special too.
