When Vivki and Vivien designed their birth announcement website they decided to feature a Quote of the Month. I thought it would be a nice idea to compile some of their favourites from months gone by. What I love about these quotes is their simplicity, their honesty, their beauty and their capacity to remind us just how amazing our children really are.
A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Children are a handful sometimes, a heartful all the time...

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
Vincent van Gogh
It is not a slight thing when those so fresh from God love us.
Dickens
There are many more quotes, but I decided to only hand pick a few of them. Van Gogh's descriptions are as vivid as his paintings, they paint a truly amazing picture of children and the joy they bring to their parents.
The second quote is also a great reminder that although parenting can be tough sometimes, having a baby is truly something to live for.
