Today my sweet niece Harlowe Rose is 7 months old! It is hard to believe that time can go this quickly or that I could love her so very much. I have had the privilege of being Harlowe’s weekday nanny for the last 5 months and let me tell you…if you want some perspective on life spend some time with a newborn. She is so joyful, playful and cuddly. Everything that she sees is new and exciting and a hug or playing with a toy can make a bad day instantly good. Even in her sad moments she teaches me to appreciate what my mom did for me and I am learning all new levels of patience. In her happy moments (which far outnumber her sad ones) her giggle is infectious and cuddling up with her can melt away any tension, stress or worry from my mind. In my opinion, she is perfection in human form and I thank God daily not just for her but for the opportunity to spend so much time with her before I start my “real”, grown-up job. So today let’s all raise a glass to little Harlowe Rose, the queen of the Hock clan!
in honor of her 7 month birthday, she learned
a new trick this week and sticks out her tongue!
