Frog will turn 10 months old on the 28th....
It's amazing that before I had a child, I let things slip by me. Days, weeks, months....it never ocurred to me how fast they dwindled away. Now, when my days and weeks and months are peppered with the milestones of a growing baby I realize how quickly time passes.
Isn't it funny how our children do little things - things we never notice until one day they don't do them anymore, and we go "When did you stop doing that?"
Frog is teaching us to slow down - to breathe. To play with plants more. To not get so upset so quickly. To love each other. To see the goodness in the world because some day we'll need to point it out to her.
I love my family. I never imagined that at 26 years old I would feel so complete. There was a time when I hated everything about myself, my life (Richard, I'm sure you remember). Those times are such a distant memory now, and for that I'm glad.
In other news -
I've applied for a higher paying position within my department and it's taking FOREVER for them to get back to me. Le sigh.
We've been travelling! Went to see my mom, sister, and sundry other family, Frog saw her first 4th of July parade, and we attended our first Arts and Crafts fair together.
I'm tired a lot these days, but it's a good tired.
