How was your day?

Big Messes

It's my favorite age...eight months. They crawl, they sit up, they "talk", they play, they eat finger foods, they use sippie cups, life gets a teensy bit easier and a whole lot messier.

But when your baby is this beautiful...messes are ok.

Sneaky girl, as if I don't notice the spilled cereal all over the table and floor.

I just want to eat her up, every single day. Isn't motherhood grand?

Giraffes and questions

"Mommy...do you sometimes wish I was a giraffe?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Because they are very quiet and don't ask questions. I ask a lot of questions."

And she does. She asks a lot of questions.

Recently, at the dinner table she let out a frustrated sigh.


"There are two things I don't know. I don't know how God made the world and I don't know where babies come from."

Maybe I do wish she was a giraffe.
