Cute babies

April is here; suddenly it seems like little babies have gently tapped their shells and emerged all fresh and darling. And while this is happening, my baby is getting a few teeth- all at once- and has become preoccupied with untangling herself from her car seat. Ahhh...one month until Hattie turns one and I'm feeling more overwhelmed than usual. So much promise up ahead and so many mixed feelings about the year that has passed. I'm so looking forward to having time to myself someday (ha) and so not looking forward to the day Hattie decides to walk. Well, that's not true. I just don't want her to walk away from me.

When Hattie turns one, this blog will be no more. It has been a marvelous journal and a good social media experiment for me. I've enjoyed chronicling this year and so glad I did it. I realize now how fleeting this has been. Before I say, "Gee, I wish I took more pictures," let me share some pictures I took that I'm so glad I have. And a really funny one of me.

Hattie, as a brand new baby. Just as beautiful as anything can be.
