"Let Them Be Little"

By Lonestar

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand;
You felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute.
How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink.
Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon,
So let them be little, cause they're only that way for a while...

I've been meaning to post these pictures FOREVER and just have never gotten around to it.  Now, 5 months later, I'm finally doing it.  These were Melia's 3 month photos.  I cannot even believe how much she has already changed.  It makes me so sad to realize how fast she is growing up.  She already has two little teeth and is almost crawling.  She can get from one place to another pretty fast and it amazes me how independent she is getting!  She's eating all sorts of fruits and vegetables and even chicken!  She loves Cheerios and goes crazy for grapes in her mesh teether where she can pretty much just gum them to death with her little mouth.  She also loves cantaloupe in there too.  I think her favorite veggie is green beans which is funny cause that's the one veggie I've always hated!  She loves to drink apple juice, prune juice, and Pedialyte--although none of those, nor anything else, can compare to Mommy's milk.  I don't know if I'll ever be able to wean this little girl--she's addicted!  :)  To her, Mommy's milk could solve the world's problems.  All the Cheerios in the world could not take its place!  :)

At any rate, I am getting off the topic here.  Back to the pictures...  My friend Aubrey posted some adorable pictures of her little girl Jayda on her blog and I loved them.  She had said she did them herself so I told her I wanted to have her help to do some for Melia.  I think they turned out great.  I took all the ones of Melia alone except the absolutely perfect one that is also the header for the blog.  Aubrey took that one (the first one below), and all the ones of me and Melia together.  I love them all!  Leave a comment and let me know which one is your favorite!  I just cannot decide.  I cannot believe it's taken me this long to post them, but with no further ado--here are Melia's 3 month photos (now that she's 8 months old)!
