Boo Boo Lips

Boo Boo Lips, that is what the Nurses at the hospital named a beautiful 7lb. 2oz. 18 inches short, dark headed baby girl. This baby girl is mine and I sure was a proud momma. When I found out I was pregnant with my second child, I was scared. Scared that I would not have enough love to split between my 2 kids. I could not imagine loving another child as much as I loved my other one. As I held this sweet little baby for the very first time, my heart was ready to burst, I had so much love. During my pregnancy I had moved back in with my parents along with my already 2 year old. My parents gave up their bedroom so I had a private place with my kids. What a blessing it was to have my mom in with me as I brought this sweet little baby into the world. My mom was my coach, and cheerleader. She was the one who cut the cord, and held Kylee first. A bond was created that morning between a grandma and her grandbaby that turned into one of lifes greatest blessings... This little bundle of joy also came into this world with an attitude.. The nurses named her boo boo lips because when someone was not holding her, standing up, bouncing, she would squint her whole face and pucker those sweet quivering lips and let out a cry. She knew what she wanted from the very start and had quite the stubborn streak. As a young mom with 2 small children working 50 hrs a week to support these girls, this little Tom boy taught me humility, patience, and unconditional love. She loved to wear dresses but hated her hair combed and loved to play in the dirt. She is a tough little cookie who knew what she wanted and not even grandma could change her mind.. This quality of hers that was troubling for me as a mom turned out to be something I learned to admire and respect. Kylee is a fighter and is her own individual who has a passion for those she loves. Under that tough skin is a heart that is as soft and big as they get. She will help anyone in need without any expectation in return. She has turned into a great friend of mine who I look forward to her Tuesday laundry visits, her texts at 1 in the morning and her sarcasm. What an amazing woman she has grown into and what a lucky mom I am to be able to call her my daughter... Happy 20th birthday Boo Boo Lips!!! I Love You Kylee!!!!
