Trying to enjoy the moment

Baby girl is almost 8 months. I feel like time has flown by after she hit 5 months. I love her to pieces and never saw myself actually being a mom before her. I try to absorb every moment I can because I know it’s so short lived when they are at this age. I will shed a tear looking back at her newborn photos. I try really hard not to push for her to crawl just right or eat more solids, and let her just, be. It’s easier said than done.

It’s daunting when people say “just wait” or “this is what you’re in for” about the toddler phase. Yes-I’m sure it’s challenging but doesn’t it have its good moments, too?
