I have my moments...

You know, where you stop those Mom thoughts that sprint through your mind to really think about what's going on with me. Wow, what a concept. I'm having some moments because yes, I am staring right at the 3-0. Age doesn't really bother me, but for some reason I'm thinking more about it these days. So I bought the sunscreen, I'm on the anti-wrinkle cream crusade, and now can't resist buying a good sun hat (what?) and rediculously huge sunglasses. Yep, no turning back.

My days are filled with incredible moments mostly given to me by Adelle and Chris. Our life is so busy, but we really work hard to have some down time with just us three. I feel so lucky to be here. Chris is working at two different offices not just getting his feet wet in this profession, but diving right in. What an experience...and enough stories for another blog (don't get me started!).

Adelle is so cool. We do all kinds of activities and watching her learn is priceless. She LOVES books and is constantly handing them to me and turning around to sit in my lap to read to her. She's still on a great schedule and taking 2 naps a day like clockwork. Her appetite is huge, I can barely keep up! Since the menu is A-La-Holloway, I'm busy. I make just about everything we eat. I've got it down to cooking all her meals for the day in the morning. We've come a long way since breastfeeding for a year, pureed food in ice cube trays, and discovering bananas (of which I have to hide now!). She's a whopping 18lbs, tiny little kid with curly hair, but healthy as can be! We visited the Pediatrition last week for her 15mo checkup. It was fun, and we learned that you stick nothing in her mouth - she hated that tool with the bright light heading towards her mouth (just like the hair dryer we discovered the other day...she hates it!).

Thirty is not so daunting...I'm excited, in fact. I'm going to be an aunt this year. I can't wait to meet my little niece in June. We're really enjoying all the other babies and kids around us - ahhh has life changed for us all!

Adelle is this great little person that talks to me all day long - how cool is that! I'm so entertained. I'm not working like I used to, running like I was, and certainly don't look like I did, but I'm very happy!

Cheers to SPF30!!!!!!!
