Project You + Me : 13 months

You: Are a little light at the end of a tunnel. You have 12 teeth and 4 more on the way (eesh already with the teeth!) You don't bend your elbows when you crawl, so you just swing your arms forward. You also don't bend your knees when you "walk." It's wonderful and beyond cute. You call me "Mimi" which makes my heart feel like it might explode. You love to throw your food and fork and milk on the floor. We're trying to teach you not to, but you always act like it was an accident. You get very very very upset when told no. So much so that you don't do whatever you got in trouble for again (at least not for a long time). You are starting to like wearing "pretties" in your hair. You are beauty. You almost said "Jesus" the other day. It made me smile so big.

Me: I'm trying to decide what in my life is clutter and what is necessary. It's actually kind of hard. Like this blog- I'm not sure if it's something that I should keep doing or not. I like it once I get going, but it can be a real hassle to write sometimes. I want to give up facebook and instagram and all the other iPhone things, but at the same time, it's a piece of how I stay connected to people. Such hard choices.

My hair is getting really long. It's kinda fun. I've been doing yoga on the back deck in the morning and loving it.

I'm trying to remember to grow where I am and to be content instead of always looking forward and worrying about what is next. It's hard. I feel like I'm in a constant state of transition. But right now, I am here. And I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, with anyone else, or doing anything else.

It won't be long until you don't need me to hold your hands. You've already let go of one of my hands! Ah! Stop growing up! (No, don't, but you know what I mean)

Slides are fun. At least the little ones.

You are a hard-core cheeser. You were pretending those coasters were your phone. It was awesome.

Big thanks to Lizzy's Auntie Kati for the pictures!!
