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.
