My daughter, Selah made her intrance into my arms on July 11, 2012 at 6:58 pm after 39 long hours of labor. She is sweet, giggly, funny, silly, cuddly, and smiley. She loves the water and she hates shoes and socks. She is the very essence of the word beauty. She makes me whole.
Some how in the last 11 months, I have not had very much time to "pause and think of that" or to think of anything, for that matter. Some how between the never ending pile of laundry, and the baby who never sleeps, I have forgotten to stop and reflect on all that my life is. I have forgotten to write down the special memories that are already escaping me. When did she first smile? When did she first roll over? It is getting hazy, and I don't want to forget everything. I don't want to forget anything. From now on, I want to document the joy that this child brings me as she grows and learns and changes. It is going by too fast.

11 months
From Wikipedia: Selah (Hebrew: סֶלָה, also transliterated as selāh) is a word used 74 times in the Hebrew Bible that means GOD HAS SPOKEN. It is probably either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of the text, something like "stop and listen". The Amplified Bible translates selah as "pause, and think of that". It can also be interpreted as a form of underlining in preparation for the next paragraph.Selah notes a break in the song and as such is similar in purpose to Amen in that it stresses the importance of the preceding passage.
