Getting Lost In The Best Way.

Happy, clean butt baby

Friends, it's so easy to get lost in parenthood. The days roll into one another in a blur of nappies, cuddles and happy squeals. I can easily spend hours and hours just holding her, marveling at how strong she is when I help her stand on my lap, watching her stare intently at her toys before trying to stuff them in her mouth. I love that I can be with V all the time, that I don't miss a moment of her. I'm very lucky.

Each day has its exciting moments, like when she'll make noises that are almost words and I crease up laughing. I like that we're settling, getting comfortable and predictable, even though it means my tiny baby is growing up. Yes, I know she's only three months old but by crikey, she's changed so much already. A little routine helps things stay the same for a bit longer (or so I like to think!).

I don't mind being lost at the moment. I don't mind focussing all of my attention on her, on letting the days blend together, because I get to have every instance with her. I know many parents don't have that luxury, S included, because of work or other commitments. I won't complain that chores go undone (although I'm working on my chore chart!) or that I didn't have anything jazzy to blog about. I'm going to simply enjoy being with my little one; there will always be time to do everything else later.

I hope that you are taking the time to enjoy yourselves this week, even if it does mean letting some other things slide.

Love, K.
