I'm the proud mother of a big girl
14 December 2009
It’s pretty hard to believe, but my baby turns two today. I’m the kind of person who with every milestone says, “Oh my gosh, last year at this time McKenna…” and, “And next year at this time, McKenna will be…” Especially on her birthdays. Last birthday she wasn’t walking very well, this year she was running all over the place. Last birthday she seemed a little freaked out to have a bunch of family and friends over. This year she soaked up the attention like Ben and I ignore her 24/7. Last birthday she spoke very basic words. This year she said to me, “Oh my gosh,” about something.
She’s such a super fun kid. Most parents I know feel that way, but I’m honestly a little surprised that I do. I always knew I could do the baby stuff. I was excited to have a cuddly bundle of joy, but I wasn’t so sure about the kid thing. I actually got really depressed last year as McKenna’s first birthday approached. But with each day McKenna becomes more fun, and while I’m not exactly anxious for her to grow up, it’s now thrilling to think, “Next year McKenna will love this,” or, “Next year, we’ll be able to do this with McKenna.” She’s awesome. Happy birthday, my little bunny.
That’s all for today. If you need a less-McKenna-focused kind of posting, I blogged with Girls, God, and the Good Life yesterday about failed friendships. Oh! And if you’d like to win a copy of Me, Just Different and Out with the In Crowd, check out my interview with the darling Carman Boley and leave a comment to win.
Happy Monday everyone!
