Hold You Me

When Hannah wasn't as proficient at speaking she would ask us to hold her by saying "hold you me". Today Robert and I just realized that she now says "hold me" which I heard a lot today. I try my best to always drop what I'm doing to hold her when she says this. I want her to know that she is very important to me, more important than whatever task is at hand.

There once was a time when I could never put her down. She was the baby who never did tummy time. She was much too cranky and sleep deprived. Even now she stays very close to me--even closer when she's sick.

Today she asked to got to bed right after her bath. And because of the time change, springing forward one hour, it was only 5:30 old time. So we put her to bed. Robert took her temperature and she had a temp of 101.5. Poor thing. I'm glad I took the time to hold you me.
