If my daughter’s childhood goes by as fast as the past new months have, then the next time I blink my eyes we’ll be dropping her off at college. My days are a blur of bottles, work, laundry, diapers, easy-to-warm meals and toys that sing little songs. Actually, I’m not even warming all of the meals.

I hear Christmas is sometime in the next few weeks and I am looking forward to that.

My mother has often said that she remembers me being 5 years old, and then I was an adult. I always thought she was exaggerating, but then I was holding Sophia and realized that she has doubled in size and grew into a 3 month old seemingly overnight.

So of the many ways that motherhood has affected my life, it has made sense of my mother. Who knew?

I understand why she is still tired but happy, because while I am seriously considering getting a babysitter one day just so that I can sleep for a while, I still grin at the baby every time she wakes up and is ready to play.
