My second baby turned one today. I can hardly believe it. This year has really flown by in so many ways, and even with the tough times, I'm sad to see it go. My little baby is growing up.
For me, this year has been so different than my first year as a mother. I really embraced having a baby this time around, and was much more prepared for what it means to have a baby. Early on I established regular routines for Kendall which made both of our lives so much easier. It's actually been really great having a big sister around to "help" me with Kendall, even if that has just meant sitting on the floor and talking to her and playing with her now.
Honestly, Kendall has been very easy going from the time we were in the hospital a year ago. I remember holding her in those first 24 hours and thinking about how calm and content she was. I love that no matter how worked up she gets, she always calms quickly when she's in my arms. I know that this is only for a season of life, so I try to enjoy all of the little moments. I am still nursing her, and I'll likely be weaning soon, so I also enjoy the closeness and I get with her in the mornings and evenings.
I love her so much and while I'm sad the she's growing up a little too quickly, I'm excited about watching her become her own little person.
