We have come to a new chapter in our life where a toddler is emerging in ways that I have dreaded since the announcement of my pregnancy. Toddlerhood. The part where she explores, experiments, destroys, and is determined to become her own person. I like her baby ways, her 3 word vocabulary, her small & expressive feet... it's all just disappearing too fast.
She is extremely tall for her age. Her pediatrician said she's in the 99th percentile and so climbing on the couch was going to happen sooner than later. However, she doesn't communicate in a way that an older kid does.... so instead of saying NO... she just bites pillows and slams her head into walls. It's mind boggling, but I guess it's just developmental. She'll get it, eventually. Right now is a trying time for us all.
But, her little face is just too cute. I wish I could freeze time, like this, forever.

Not quite cutting it.
Oh yes, why, you did find another blog... one that is just the same as all of the other blogs online. I show pictures of my kid, talk about my life, post blow-by-blow photos of vacations and trips, sometimes I'll share recipes and DIY blogs, and overall... I am just part of a trend that I can't quit.
What's interesting to me is that blogging is more than just posting something out into the blogosphere... Out into the world where a handful might read and relate. It's a requirement for me.
After my daughter turned 1 year old, I stopped posting. I did her monthly photos for a year and then I stopped. I have a feeling if I stop forever, I'll regret it everyday. I LOVED looking back through all of my old posts and finding thoughts, feelings, and most of all ... photos. They take me back instantly.
Yes, blogging may be a hassle. Yes, it may be a chore. It's also an eventual outcome to be able to see what happened in my life and watch it keep going. As I continually flip-flop all over the place with my inability to maintain a proper blog, my wishwashy tendencies to continue on with the same name... sometimes change is inevitable.
What isn't inevitable is the eventual, but we can't get there without the present. Presentual.
Welcome, I plan on making this journey more exciting (well at least more well tended to) than previous versions of myself.
