I’m seriously overdue on updates.
Caroline is a hot.blonde.sassy mess. She’s getting so big! She’s definitely not the chunky little one she used to be….she’s barely 31 pounds. Most of her 3T clothes are big on her and she eats like a bird. It’s amazing to see the transformation from chunky little baby to even chunkier toddler to a well-on-her-way to almost being a little girl! Thank goodness Mommy and Daddy are still the coolest people on earth and we are her ‘best friends.’ I am not looking forward to the day she becomes the mouthy teenager who thinks I am from another planet. I know these days are inevitable….I know she will soon outgrow our morning cuddle sessions and our night night snuggles on the couch with hot chocolate and cashews, but for now all I can do is soak in every single second and pray she never gets tired of me.
Claire is 8 and a half months old. Seriously? How in the world did I let almost 9 months pass by this quickly? She’s not the ‘megamyers’ I thought she was going to be, either. She’s in the 30% of her weight but she’s in the 90% of her height. So, she’s most likely going to be taller than Caroline. She’s been crawling since 5 and a half months. She’s been pulling up and walking alongside the coffee table and the ottoman since she was about 6 and a half months. Now, she is standing up and pulling away to balance herself….so I know what comes next. I know she will be walking sooner than later. THAT SUCKS. She’s on her way to being a toddler.
I know this is normal. I know they will only get bigger. I know my little girls will one day be young ladies and then women…but now I see what the big deal was when my mom always made such a fuss over me. I also know there’s a lot of happiness to look forward to. I know these girls are going to know without a doubt that they are loved, they are supported and no matter what, momma is always there for them. Momma would die for them.
I get it now, mom.
