wholesome steps

Babies feet.
Oh how I love them...
They are full of so much innocence and cuteness, I just can't help but nestle my face in Sage's feet on a daily basis and smell and kiss them all over!
As I watch my baby girl grow, I'm beginning to understand how much she loves her feet too.
I've been noticing her study and touch them as she rolls her ankles round and round.
She enjoys clapping them together and also cupping her small hands around them.
Sometimes she will yank at each toe... almost interested in seeing if she can pull them off.
I can just see the wonder in her eyes...What is this? Why is this attached to me?

I find it so cute that she will suck on her toes, especially the big one.
I waited patiently for her to finally do this, as I was asked by many mamas if she had found those toes yet! I don't think the doctors consider this a milestone for babies, but to me it was definitely a noteworthy act that deserved a spot in the baby memory book.

Any day now Sage will be crawling around and I'm sure in no time will be trying to take her first steps.  Soon her innocence little soles will become weathered a bit by the act of her experiencing life on two feet. I'm excited to see my babe running and dancing joyfully around, but I find it important to take note of her feet right now in their current state- free of marks, so pure. I'm going to cherish them and love on them all I can, because so soon they will be gone! And I will be finding new reasons to love the new more durable feet she will acquire...the precious feet I know I will be chasing after everywhere :)
