my journey

Today I have a 23 month old…

January 27, 2016

Well I know a lot of people who think that turning 1 is a huge deal for parents and it is… But the idea of my baby girl turning two is affecting me a lot more than her turning 1 did. Perhaps it is because we are in such a different place than we were last year at this time.

And maybe because I feel like time is going by so fast that I know these simple moments won’t be around much longer. Before I know it she will be in school and there will only be a small amount of time that’s just the two of us.

Perhaps I’m just a little stingy and want more moments with my girl. More time learning who she is and more time letting her know how much I love her.

More giggles and more silly laughs.

And at the same time I am so excited for her. She has so many fun adventures ahead! I just didn’t know how quickly those adventures would come.

She is picking up reading so fast. She knows so many words that I had no idea she knew. She loves books. I hope she keeps that love!

She’s made a few friends too. We try to go on walks and run around outside so that she (and her friends) get their energy out!

My big girl! I can’t believe I almost have a two year old!

Time ticking on…

Everyday life…

We made ribbon wands and danced! The cat wanted one of her own but she had to do without.

We’ve been walking almost every day. Someone really doesn’t like wearing shoes. They always get tossed off and then I have to run around like a crazy person trying to find the missing one that was “accidentally” thrown out of the stroller.

We try to spot airplanes and birds and fun things when we are out and about. Most importantly we try not to step in dog poop (people forget to clean up such land mines).

And who doesn’t love building castles? This was her her first! She was very excited!

Life has been normal 🙂 thank heavens!

And life goes on…

In a month and a half I will have a 2 year old!!!!!!

Well we are a week or so into 2016 and life just keeps chugging along. Days have been both crawling and speeding away. My girl is getting so big. I’m amazed at how grown up she already appears to be.

reading to her babies (insisted that they all join in)

She’s reading and sing and dancing. She has her own opinions and thoughts. She loves telling stories and trying to get her point across.

Did I mention she absolutely adores the rain? If she hears it start to rain then she begs to go outside. If she doesn’t get to go out in the rain there are many many tears (I think she needs some boots).

And she loves her babies.

She loves music. She is always asking for another “song” or singing or playing on her toy piano. Even at this very moment she is singing and dancing.

And now she wants to go for a walk… So I should get on that 🙂
