Last football season feels like forever ago. I think it's because of how much Blakely has changed in just a year. I mean look at my little bulldog just last year...
She was so chubby!!! I miss that! She's a little skinny thing now. For real, she's weighed 20 lbs since she was 9 months old and hasn't gained weight since. Now, not to worry. I feed my child. Really well actually. She girl can pack some food away, and she's getting taller so she is growing. The doctor has reassured me that she is totally healthy, she's just going to be on the skinny side. Oh my little string bean. I just love her.
We've been having the best time lately. Lots of hugs and kisses around here. And the sporadic tantrum, I mean she is a one year old. That whole trying-to-be-independent and still-can't-communicate-all-that-well thing, it can be hard on a girl. I usually try to figure out what's making her so frustrated. If it's over nothing, than I simply ignore the behavior until she's over it. I'm not gonna lie. My patience gets tested on a daily basis. I know I'm not alone though. I have a lot of other mommy friends out there who I know are going through the same thing. I just have to remind myself to breath and not get frazzled. I want to be a good mama to Blakely everyday. I want to play hard, teach her and love on her. I don't want her to see a stressed out mom who snaps at the littlest thing. I want to let her get dirty, make messes, and spill stuff and not care. This time, this life, is so short. And she is only little for so long. I want her to have nothing but the best memories of her childhood and of a fun silly mama who played and taught and loved. And cheered for The University of Georgia!
