one more month

today my little charlotte turned 23 months old.

it seems like a silly number to keep track of,

but it's significant to me.

in one month, she'll turn two years old.

this is my last month with a one year old.

a baby.

in truth- she isn't a baby anymore.

she's a talking, running, dancing little girl.

but she's my baby.

i've been having a lot of trouble with her turning two.

being done with babies.

i recognize i could have 15 kids and i would still feel so sad when the youngest got older.

3 kids is right for us.

but it is still so sad to see them growing so quickly.

i miss tiny feet.

curled up snuggles.

cooing.

babies that don't move when you set them down.

happy little toothless smiles.

today is a reminder to take in every second of it.

because it goes so very fast.

i have one more month to be a mommy of a one-year-old.

i want to cherish every second of it.

here are a few pictures of my baby girl :)

 

 

and some sister loves

i love you, sweet charlotte monroe.

i hope january is a very slow month.
