what a wondrous 10 months it has been.
the momentous 1st birthday will be here soon
as summer fades and turns to fall.
i can't say i'm ready,
but i don't really have a choice.
claire is an amazing baby.
i know i'm her mother, so perhaps a bit bias,
but most days i can't get over
just
how
great
she
is.
a mothers love i know,
but even more
the love of our God
to have given her to us...
that is something i may never get over.
so many strangers comment on how
happy and beautiful she is.
she truly lights up a room.
just yesterday we were out to lunch with some friends,
countless people stopped to swoon over claire.
at the end of lunch our friends remarked on the
crazy amount of people who stopped to comment on her.
they said they had never seen anything like it before.
i love that she brings smiles to strangers faces
every
single
time
we
are
out
i never want to forget the
pure joy
this baby girl has.
in turn she
brings joy
to us
and complete strangers.
and yes,
i did just brag about how much attention my awesome kid gets,
but this is for her.
i'm usually reserved about her awesomeness,
so a bit of bragging was overdue.
so what does a 10 month old do?
well, she eats...
everything
from fruits and veggies to cat food and books.
it ALL goes in the mouth.
and we play...
a lot, all day long.
this usually involves lots of crawling, standing and cruising.
tormenting the cat,
reading books,
destroying household objects,
and creating a huge mess
are some of her most favorite activities.
then we (yes both of us)
get sleepy,
have a meltdown,
nap, eat and repeat.
as monotonous as life may seem at times,
i know these are the best of times.
happy 10 months baby girl!
