Dear Claire;

We had a wonderful day today. Filled with sweet moments I will cherish. Nursing on the new couch, you're watching Sesame Street while holding my arm. I love when you do that. You're getting so grown and busy you don't have a lot of time for things like that. There are far too many blankets to hide behind, toys to throw, and Miss Molly the monkey always needs a kiss or two.

I've been trying really hard to unplug lately. I have 50 days of maternity leave left. The deadline is looming. I want this summer to never end. Thinking about going back to work is really hard on me these days. I feel like I already miss you.

You have been falling asleep during your middle of the night feedings lately. It amazes me that no matter how you have grown, you still looks like the day you were born when you so sweetly lay asleep in my arms. 

We went to the lake this week to visit with grandma. It was an amazing day; playing, lunch, beach, ice cream. 

Today you found your tongue again, like you always do when you're about to get a new tooth. This one has been hard on you, I hope it comes soon. 

 

I love our days. Here's to at least 50 more amazing, blissful ones. 

Love, 

mom
