I wondered if motherhood would cease being so awesome when the newness wore off. Nope. Still awesome.
Mind you, it does not hurt that I clearly have the best child ever to exist. (Shush. I do.)
She's getting very into hugging lately. And she says 24 words. Today's words were "purple" and "butt." (My fault-- I was checking for stinkiness and I said, "C'mere, let me smell your butt." That resulted in, "Butt, butt, butt, butt!")
The rest of my life is frankly pretty lousy right now, which makes me extra glad that this little person tosses her arms around me and drools on my shoulder. Some days, I still can't believe I get to keep her.
