Growing up just a little more

I’m not going to lie – I used to look at pictures of toddlers and get a little uneasy. “How in the world am I going to be a mom to a toddler?” I would ponder to myself. I never shared this sentiment out loud because wouldn’t that make me crazy? If I have a baby, shouldn’t I be prepared for the years ahead? Um, no.

That is, until now. In the last week I have finally come to embrace the idea of having a toddling little person next to me with anticipation. I look at pictures of mamas with their dark haired littles and I get excited at the fun Cricket and I are going to have in the not so distant future.
Little Cricket don’t grow up too fast. Just know that when you are ready, so am I. Until then, let’s continue on this adventure one sweet day at a time.
xo, Mama

  1. Your pictures always make me tear up in a sentimental way. Cricket reminds me so much of my daughter at that age.
    She is such a beautiful sweet girl!

  2. Oh, she is so beautiful Rachel. You are so blessed. I wish that blogging has existed when my babies were small. Then I could have left a record of my love for them that they could read now . . . sigh . . .

  3. Oh, isn't she gorgeous? And I think the same thing, but it's whenever I see a newborn. Not that I'm not THRILLED, it's just overwhelming sometimes to think of all of the responsibility! But you are a lovely mother and little Cricket is blessed to have you! :)
