Half a Year in Review

Last night I went through Gracie's closet and packed up all her newborn and 0-3 month clothes. I wasn't crazy sad about it, but I was a little nostalgic when I held the tiny onesies that wouldn't even fit over her belly now. As 2011 comes to a close and I look back on the year, so much has changed. Last Christmas break, I spent most of my downtime getting a nursery ready. I used to lay awake at night, feeling this baby move in my belly, planning its nursery, wondering what it would feel like to hold my baby in my arms. This Christmas, my life feels more full than it ever has, which makes me very happy. But to see my sweet baby girl sitting up and getting up on all-fours trying to crawl, I'm just amazed at how fast life moves. I'm so thankful for my sweet daughter and all the joy that she brings.
