My Best Friend is Five Months Old (Almost)

My daughter is my new best friend!  I just love her to pieces!  I know a mother is not supposed to be "friends" with her kids but, in our case, for now, I think it works for us.  Kaia does everything with her Mommy.  She is always there.  I wake up with her in the morning (and through the night ;), I dress her and she hangs out patiently while I get dressed, I feed her, she's there for moral support when I eat.  We watch her video together.  She cuddles with me while I type or read.  I wipe her butt, or in today's case, catch her poop in baby wipes (I know it sounds gross but it actually was fantastic considering the alternative of cleaning it off of all of her after it's squished around her diaper and out onto her body and clothes!)  I talk to her.  She talks to me.  She lifts my spirits with her little laughs and smiles.  Somehow I make her laugh and smile.  Who could ask for a better friend than that?!

On another note, my sweet friends Karen and Ryan are coming over tomorrow to help me get the gym set up!  They are wonderful and I can't wait to get it up so I can start using it!  Mommy really needs some elliptical time!
