bath time is the best time. she crawls back and forth, from one end of the tub to the other, splashing and yelling.

life lately


it's been a while since i've done a post other than a weekly portrait
because honestly
i can barely even find the time to do the portraits.
the days all run together and before i know it
it's november
and my baby is almost two months away from turning one.

marlowe is so wonderful.
she's in the 100th percentile for her height
and she crawls so fast
and pulls herself up on everything
and signs for milk when she's hungry.

my days are filled with chasing her around the house
listening and dancing to music
(i think bluegrass is her favorite)
pulling things out of her mouth that shouldn't be there
and nursing and cuddling.

motherhood has exceeded my expectations.
i love being her mama
and i feel like i was always meant to do this.
sure i get overwhelmed
and some days she's a little terror
but this life?
i wouldn't trade it for anything.

i wake up every morning
no matter how bad the night before was
and it feels like christmas.

marlowe the puppy. the sweetest puppy there ever was. minutes after i took this photo we realized she had bitten a hole in the snickers wrapper and was sucking all the chocolate out. sneaky little pup.
