I was flipping through old pictures and I just cant believe what I see.
First off, this is my baby girl. BABY girl! Jameson kept telling me and telling me how silly I was for wanting another baby when we still had one and I just didn't see it that way. Let me tell you, and hunny, I admit it, we did have a baby. She still is one. Oh! That face and short short hair.
Fast forward to my girl today. Same shirt. Most of last year's wardrobe is being reused. She is still just shy of 30lbs. She has grown up so much! But is still very obviously herself.
Last year this was our family picture. Jameson is beardless with not as crazy eyes from his schooling.
Fast forward almost a year and Chloe and I are tan like the little Georgians we are and Barrett has joined the team!
Yes I am tooting my own horn these next few pictures. But I am a tired, worn down Mommy and I deserve a few positive notes. Other than the fact that I pushed out another baby... Hear me roar!
First shout out goes to that ridiculously long hair! I loved it-- and now a child that is going through medical treatments is enjoying it.
The body. Oh yes. I love my body. I had never looked like that before but I am not going to lie, I will look like that again. Well, if I have anything to say about it :)
Fast forward a year. My hair is short (it was shorter) and I am post baby chubbs, but you know what, I am happy. You can photoshop and glamour shot me but you cant add the happy new mother, loved wife look in those eyes.
Children sure make the months seem like a big deal. High school drug on, college was measured only in haircuts and one kickbutt trip to Europe. But seriously. Every month I see a new sparkle in Chloe's eye, I hear a new sound from Barrett, Jameson and I find new gray hairs and smile at each other knowing that next year we'll look back and be shocked at how far we've come yet again.
