Everyday I wake up I am reminded just how blessed I truely am. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful little girl, and wonderful friends. Next week, our baby girl will be 9 months old. It's hard to believe how quickly 9 months has passed us by, yet I am so amazed by how much she has taught me over the short time she has been in our lives. I often find myself worrying and stressing over even the most trivial things, but Adelynn is helping me to realize it's sometimes just much easier to let things be. I'm learning it's ok to let her explore and not be right behind her pulling her away from things. I want her to be safe, but I don't want to hold her back from learning and experiencing things on her own. My house may not always be spotless... There may be pots and pans all over my kitchen floor, laundry which has not been folded and now thrown all over, and I may even ocassionally find a piece of the dogs food in her mouth (I know, gross! And GERMS..that's a whole other story for another time) but I love watching her explore and learn. So for now, I am going to try my hardest not to stress over my house being orderly and neat and let her just play and enjoy herself!
