S has been growing up so fast. She’s about a year and a half now and it’s been fun and funny and exhausting. But it’s also been incredibly interesting to observe her changes and see her personality develop. Not just from a mom’s standpoint but from the perspective of simply being another human – thinking,… Continue reading The Cycle of Life
