Today felt like a normal day. I say “normal” because for as long as I can remember, things have felt so busy and hectic. With trying to sell our house, traveling, working and things taking off with “MumsTheWurd!” I have barely found enough time to sit and jot down my thoughts lately.

Eric and I have noticed for the past week or so that Hailey has become more of a “cuddler”. She is very willing to let us rock her while she tucks in her arms at her side and lays her head on our shoulders. This is such a nice feeling. I breathe in these moments because I see how quickly she is growing and maturing.

She surprised me a couple of different times today by putting more than two words together to form sentences. When I look at her now, I see that she is understanding the world around her more. It’s bitter sweet for me because I love being the apple of her eye but at the same time, I enjoy watching her discover her surroundings and making sense of everything.

Those two-year molars are bugging her these days. She’s never been a kid who had her fingers in her mouth all day long but recently, it seems like she’s always digging in the back of her mouth for some relief. Generally, when I ask her a question, I get a quick “no” which to her means, yes, no or I don’t know. Today, when I asked her if her mouth was hurting, she looked over at me and replied “yes”. I think we’re heading toward the days of going for cawfee and tawking.
