Weekword is a weekly blog traveling linking party. The host picks a word on Monday and every one puts their post up on their own blog on Friday. Every one does some blog hopping leaving comment love and making new friends. This week I chose the word Observe. As I was putting up the post and checking the links, I observed how wonderful it is, for such a small group, we are spread all around the world. Let the blog hopping began:
John of The Healing Seed
Genskie of Genskie’s Written Voices A warm welcome! Genskie has agreed to be the host next week! Hop on over to her blog to check out the word she picked. It is a good one.
Carmen of Tails of a Biomouse She usually posts on the weekend but she will get it up. :-)
Jeneveve of Timballoo Adventures in Illustration
Erika of LinguaThink
Katy of Creating Misericordia
I had two maybes but I’m adding them. The more the merrier.
Lynn of Wistfulgirl’s World <-A blog friend I’ve actually met in real life.
Meleah of Momma Mia, Mea Culpa
This week my baby turns 1. I’m happy, sad, excited, tired and melancholy all at once. I want to observe every tiny detail of her and burn it deep into my brain.
I observe
her interest in balloons
the way her hair has started to curl
her love for all books
her desire to always explore
her tiny little feet and legs reaching as far as possible
(usually just far enough to get into trouble)
her ability to sleep on my chest anywhere because she feels safe and content
her
As she plays on the floor babbling to herself, I smile and marvel as she figures out how a toy works. She stops and looks around the room until she spots me. I smile at her. She smiles back then goes back to her play. My heart bursts. I observe how I will never be the same. Every day I change with her and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I look forward to hopping around and checking out everyone’s posts. It is not too late to join in the fun. Leave me a comment and I will add you to the list.

What a beautiful post Junebug, my heart was bursting when I read it. And wow, the weekworders have grwon, well done.
Thanks! I know! So excited for the big group this week!! Can’t wait to check out every one’s posts. No worries on the typo -> happens to me all the time.
Oops, sorry about the typo, cannot change it.
Awwwwwwwww! I can’t believe how big Phi is getting. Seriously.
And I suck, because I didn’t post anything for Observe. In fact, I completely forgot about it.

cute baby…
What a beautiful little baby! We’re expecting our first in just 6 weeks. I’m already thinking about how fast the time is going to fly, and she’s not even born yet!
erika recently posted..Weekword: Observe
Congrats!!!! It truly flies by but the first four months or so can feel like forever with the little sleep and tons of work. I could barely function until about 5 months but my poor girl was colic. She would scream for hours most evenings. It was truly awful. Lots of rocking and singing to the screaming. I barely put her down for those months. I hope your baby does not have colic. My advice is sleep when she sleeps and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Best thing I did was find my mommy tribe -> group of women whose babies are all about my baby’s age so we could encourage each other and cry together.
Thanks for the tips! I’ve already been eyeing mommy groups in our neighborhood. I plan to take full advantage, particularly because neither my husband nor I have any family in NYC. Our life is about to be turned upside down; that’s for sure!

I loved this post and knew you would do observe justice with the baby bug’s first year celebration in full swing!! She is the most beautiful little thing and I cherish feeling all that love and devotion you have for her through your words and pictures-great revival post!!
Awww…thanks. You are one of the few who gets to see the real pictures of her on fb. I tried to put as little of her on here as possible. Just sneak peeks. LOL
