If I have ever stated that being a parent isn't any fun, I take it back.
It is simply a hoot these days. The laughing, the new expressions, the clucking, the crawling. (We really are wonderfully made, aren't we Grace?)
We recently took her on a hike to Malibu.
And on her first visit to the Huntington Library
Everything is more fun when it is your baby's "first" anything
Like her first play date with a yorkshire terrier. Or seeing a duck at the park. And hearing her laugh in response.
I was recently reminded of the short duration of our lives here on earth. And how precious life is. I am reassured that our relationships now are but a fraction of a second in comparison to the eternal life that is promised us.
I leave you with a video of my crawling baby. She's not walking yet (and I only say that bc people keep asking)...but I am amazed when she crawls out of her room, down the hallway, to come & find me getting ready in my room.
